Style/technique: Floral
majolica A noted design by Lewis Day and a registered
design one of the first three Day designs
registered by Pilkington in 1895[1].
Some say a popular design but I think it is
quite a rarity certainly this is the first I
have sold, unless I sold any way in the dim
distant past of the 1970s and 80s. Decorated in the style of the times, a
reinterpretation of the floral designs that had
been the mainstay of transfer printed tiles for
nearly a decade in modern majolica. Moulded with
a low closonné outline and with four
natural colour glazes. Verso quite clean, embossed registration
number and P's in opposing corners. [1] Anthony Cross 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. For more details
of how we describe marks see Condition.
