A super design following perhaps both the Jungenstil and Seccessionist traditions of art nouveau. The regular stem in the forefround of the design contrasts with gently waving lines towards the edges, and a bold, stylised flowerhead.

Condition: Very good
Price: £70 (approx $140)
Ref: 02137

Marks near the side edges from the iron fireplace frame, some stun marks across the flowerhead, two tiny stun chips, other minor surface marks. The edges are near perfect, one very tiny chip on the bottom edge and a little wear on the tips of two corners. A very clean tile with high brilliance in the glazes.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required.

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.
