A super art nouveau tile embossed and
indented in low relief and in a fabulous range
of colours. Unusual and lovely colours. soft and
attractive, super mint 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.

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 are readily
visible. 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.
