Blue & White Aesthetic Movement Tile
Style/technique: Aesthetic print Manufacturer: Steele & Wood Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: circa 1882 An absolutely brilliant and fascinating tile. Japonesque aesthetic styling the iris and interweaving compex hatched patterns being characteristic, in a fabulous shade of blue and in incredible condition, perfectly clean and highly brilliant glaze which has not even crazed. An offset pattern of the time when designers were experimenting with regular angles in their works, usually 90û and 45û angles were used, a rare but also characteristic example. Sometimes, rare though it may be, seen in fireplaces set handed to face each other. Verso spotlessly clean unmarked generic rails, thought very likely to be by Steele & Wood as other of their patterns appear on this. It is sometimes erroneously attributed to Wedgwood, whilst Wedgwood did produce tiles with somewhat similar backs none are quite like this. By extension at times the erroneous attribution to Wedgwood is extended to include de Morgan!

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.
