Condition Report

Very small chip bottom right corner, a few other tiny edge chips/roughness. Two very tiny stun chips on the left flower, a few touches of rubing to high points, light discolouration in the crazing. Shrinkage crack in the firing verso does not penetrate the tile or affect the face. Good gloss and charming colours.

 

A good art nouveau design, floraly inspired although the flowers look rather like confectionary. Almost formal flowerheads and swirling whiplash leaves, lots of movement and pretty colours. A design we see from time to time in arious colourways but quite unusual to have the beads across the middle and the background thereto coloured in differently, they are often coloured as the leaves.

Verso perfectly clean, greyhound badge.


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.
