Condition Report

Chipped top right corner and a few tiny points of wear on the outlines, perfectly clean and brilliant glazes.

A bold floral 'cloisonné' majolica tile in four rich colours and with super blue flower and bud. Cloisonné was adopted by Pilkington's and others to describe designs with raised outlines, as in it's original brass namesake the outlines keep the glazes (glass) separate. This will be quite an early design for Pilkington origination being in 1894 or 1895.

Verso quite clean, embossed 'P's.

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.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. Customers may request a larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format for closer inspection which will be sent by email.
