Maw & Co Arts & Crafts Blue and White Tiles
• Style/technique: Arts & crafts painted • Manufacturer: Maw • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1908	Incredible hand decorated Arts & Crafts movement tiles in an excellent rich blue and with a highly brilliant glaze the design revealled in white and further shaded with a sponged or perhaps sprayed effect. The design is full of life and fills the entire tile, a pattern that is excellent as a standalone tile yet works superbly as a repeat in any orientation. Designed and decorated by Charles Henry Temple on a Maw & Co blank, similar tiles noted on Craven Dunnill blanks so presumed made after Temple left the employ of Maw & Co in 1906. This design illustrated in 'Pottery and Tiles of the Severn Valley'. Versos very clean, embossed Maw etc.

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 are readily visible. 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.
