A aesthetic design that contrives to contain the greatest number of stylistic elements of the period. There are vignettes of a cottage in the country and of a bird on branch, an japonesque decorated fan blade, a scarf decorated with different patterns on either side, a blackberry branch with fruit and blossom and butterfly and dragonfly hovering nearby, a sprig of daisy-like flowers, a miniature seascape and a further view of a pond with water lilies. All crisply printed in black on white, it is difficult to imagine a fuller imagine and greater variety of constituents yet the tile remains light and bright.

Verso spotlessly clean and with printed pattern name, company initials and design registration number.

Very slight discolouration in the crazing and the very slightest of surface marks.

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.
