An amazing tile. Take two what one would normally consider fairly ordinary colours, an olivy brown and orangey yellow, and combine them with a bold poppy design that fills the tile. The result, it looks like it's on fire, warm colours become hot with the flow of the lines and the brilliance in the glazes.

Verso spotless and with painted pattern number K219. This pattern number suggests a 19thC origination date making it one of the very first full blown and unarguably art nouveau designs on tile - pattern K303 was registered in May 1900.

Minor surface marks, some small patches of rubbing where the background glaze is at its thickest, one minute stun mark.

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. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
