Unusual Wedgwood Patent Impressed Tile
Style/technique: Aesthetic stencilled slip Manufacturer: Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Pattern number: R3069 Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: circa 1888 Colours: 6 slips   A very complex tile for this process, six colours of slip and well over a hundred indivdual components each stencilled by hand and some having two slip colours. A full and flowing arts & crafts movement style design of interweaving stems with flowers, buds and leaves, somewhat unusual colours with the peachy coloured flowers and beige chevrons top and bottom. This is a white clay body, less often used for Patent Impressed than the celadon (green) and unmarked apart from a single moulded letter and pattern number written in slip. * This description is earmarked for updating as new information in respect of the Patent Impressed process has come to light, see this item for an explanation.
Condition: Near perfect Price: £125 (approx $245) Ref: 02913 One very tiny surface chip - a challenge to locate! - the tiny speck near the bottom right corner is a superfluous bit of slip. No wear or rubbing as is often the case with these tiles, superbly brilliant glaze. UK Special Delivery £133 US and World Airsure £140 Full order information Contact us Currency Converter
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.
