An excellent bold floral design with flowerhead of generous dimensions and strong leaves nicely printed and painted in five great colours. A rare combination of colours with two blues and deep pink and the most unusual stippled green to the base. The design fills the tile nicely and is well proportioned for its intended use.

This is a borderless design for the decorative market such as fireplaces and washstands where any border would be partly covered by the frame and may look incomplete. Possibly a design that Pilkington adapted for one of their high outline majolica designs.

Verso very clean, generic bars.

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.
