Condition Report

A couple of very small edge chips, a few very tiny, light surface marks, brilliant glossy glaze.

A floral design with corner motifs which join to make naive sunflower style flowerheads. In distinctive colours and a distinctive technique the colours airbrushed or perhaps sponged through stencils on to the transfer paper giving a softer subtly mottled effect quite different to block printed colours in use around the same time.

Verso very clean, unmarked.

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.
