Émaux Ombrants Abstract Art Nouveau Tile
Style/technique: Abstract art nouveau majolica Manufacturer: Henry Richard Tile Co Pattern number: 709 Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: design registered early 1907   A superb abstract art nouveau design, very few art nouveau designs are so aggressively stylised, glazed in a very highly translucent olive brown or old gold colour which was expensive at the time. Highly translucent yet richly coloured the tile presents almost a smooth surface for easy cleaning and minimalising wear yet has great contrast and definition, this is justifiably called an émaux ombrants tile. The glaze has very low viscosity so that it will pool well in the hollows, this introduces problems in manufacture. Glaze spills over the edges are more likely and must be avoided as then the tile will stick to the kiln furniture and may be damaged upon removal, the tile has to be near perfectly level in the kiln otherwise unsightly pooling will occur near the lower edge. Excellent tile, more in them than initially meets the eye - and that is a feast. Versos very clean with registration number and England embossed.

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.
