Some wear to the outline and a few minute marks.

 

A nice little art nouveau tile with a bold flowerhead in two blues and curving green leaves.

Made in England verso suggests possibly a little later than many, 1920s, however it is found on 19thC tiles in particular by the Campbell owned Mintons China Works and so this tile could be anywhere from c1905 - c1930.

Few decorative glazed tiles from Campbell are found, they mostly did floor tiles.

Verso has grains of mortar remaining, Campbell compass points badge partly obscured by mortar residue.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 220 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on screen is about the size as it would be in real life at the same distance. 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.
