Condition Report

A few very small > minute chips around the edges and very light surface marks none in the least bit obvious. Very clean and excellent glaze brilliance.

 
A mosaic design that I can not recall seeing before, a complex five colour Reynold's patent print in perhaps a Hispano-Mauresque style. On a hearth quality half inch thick body although from the vertical panels in a fireplace, natural colours though none the less for that having fullness and brilliance. The tile appears to date from the 1890s although the design may well be a decade older.

Verso very slightly grubby, no adhesive residue, name as per usual.

• Condition: Good

• Ref: #03026B

A few very small > minute chips mostly bottom edge, half a dozen tiny surface chips and other very light marks, very clean and excellent glaze brilliance.

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.
