Condition Report

Chip near top left corner, a couple of other tiny edge chips.

A high quality tile in the local Shropshire red clay of stylised wildflower design, moulded in low relief and with the background glazed in opaque green. An exterior quality tile usually used for decorating the exterior of fine 19thC buildings and rarely found, very durable and dense semi-vitrified clay that was used for flooring all over the world and stands the test of time exceedingly well. From the Jackfield works so 1884 or later.

Verso very clean ladder style fully named.

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.
