Condition report
No damage to the edges whatsoever, half a dozen
very tiny surface chips, other very light surface
marks. Very clean and high brilliance in the
glazes.

A super art nouveau tile embossed and indented in
low relief and in a fabulous range of colours.
Super pale green background, peach on the main
flower and good blues for the buds and green for
leaves and stems.
This design is most often seen by Richards, the
two are virtually indistinguishable. It is
considered unlikely that either copied the other
maybe there was a common source for the
original.
Ollivant are an underrated manufacturer who
produced a fairly limited range of designs but of
outstanding quality for such a small and largely
unrecognised company.
Verso very clean, C.O.V. and England embossed
and painted pattern number.
