very light scratches, other very minor marks,

underrated company, little is known about them,
they even have been described as 'shadowy'. Most
marked tiles we find from them are excellent, they
patented their own unique process(es) and were one
of a handful of companies that produced gilt and
stencilled slip tiles, it is suspected that they
made tiles for some of the major brand names. Verso slightly sooty, slight mortar residue,

cropped close to the edges so that the edges can

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.
