Art Nouveau Majolica Tile
Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica Manufacturer: Henry Richards Tile Co. Pattern number: 744/4 Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: Design registered 1907 Colours: 4   This tile is one of a small group of fabulous asymetric art nouveau designs made by Richards in 1907. This design the second most popular of the group and made in many colourways this being number 4 but still not a colourway we see often at all. Lovely light blue/green 'aqua' background and extremely well painted the slender stems often causing trouble for the decorator. Asymetrical art nouveau designs are one of the most difficult styles to master, the flow of the line in such elegant and light design has to be just perfect. It is so much easier to achieve balance in a symetrical design, literally one half is the mirror image of the other, asymetric designs are at least four times as difficult to successfully achieve. Verso very clean with design registration number and pattern number.

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.
