Arts & Crafts/Aesthetic Handpainted Tile

Style/technique: Arts & Crafts/Aesthetic handpainted

Manufacturer: Unattributed

Dimensions: 6" x 6"

Date: circa 1880

A fabulous, stylistic arts & crafts style handpainted tile with gently flowing stems and bold stylised flowerheads in pink, red and brown. Absolutely superb quality in both design and execution, very stylish and very well painted, most precisely yet with great feel.

Verso quite clean, probably Campbells biscuit, with hand written markings which include a cryptic pattern number, encrypted price, and what appear to be the initials JE upper left corner verso as seen below. This biscuit was also on occassion used by Mintons Art Pottery Studio Kensington Gore and whilst the quality of this would be equal to the handful of their better works such attribution can be virtually discounted as one from this group is painted on Minton Hollins biscuit! The tile really is incredibly good workmanship which demands positive attribution which has to date eluded me. JE could well be for John Eyre who was a designer and painter, foreman and kiln superintendent at Kensington Gore. When that closed he had a studio at Phillips in Oxford Street and he also worked for Copeland and Doulton Lambeth.

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.
