A rather formal Art Nouveau design but no less the pleasing for that, in natural colours, three greens and the yellow flowers the centres deeply indented to create a darker hue as the glaze pools. Nice quality moulding and painting but firing a little inconsistent, the tiles taper slightly but with super brilliance in the glazes.

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.
