Condition Report

One very tiny edge chip otherwise perfect. Brilliant surface condition, colours and glaze.

 
A superb fruit and blossom design and an excellent seven handpainted colours which is quite phenomenal, They include two blues and a rich red, a quality tile throughout.

Verso very clean, Boote style rings. From furniture, no adhesive residue, painted pattern number, H.P. printed, perhaps made for Hardy & Padmore ironfounders of Worcester.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on screen is about the size as it would be in real life at the same distance. 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.
