A floral majolica tile with just a hint of Art Nouveau influence. Bright colours in the flowerhead contrast well against the more subdued brown leaves and olive green background.

Believed to be H A Ollivant, very characteristic of their wares.

Condition: Very Good
Price: £65 ($133)
Ref: 02077

Chip top left corner, some soot staining near the left edge. Several other small edge chips, a stun/scratch line near bottom left where the tile was against the iron fireplace frame, a handful of very small surface chips. None of the marks are particularly obvious, the tile displays very well and has high brilliance in the glazes.

The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. Customers may request a larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format for closer inspection which will be sent by email.
