Condition Report

Slice chip bottom left corner, 'chips' upper left edge are glazed over manufacturing flaws, exceedingly light rubbing to a few high points. Perfectly clean and very high brilliance glaze.

An excellent moulded tile in the arts and crafts movement style of interweaving foliage and buds moulded in high relief and glazed in light brown. A substantial tile being a little over half an inch thick.

Verso very clean, Maws offset pattern of the date but with the name and badge erased, possibly a Sutcliffe design or made around the time of the move to the Jackfield works in 1884.

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.
