• Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica • Manufacturer: Gibbons Hinton • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1905	A good, bold art nouveau design with characteristic whiplash lines and highly stylised floral pattern the leaves emanating from the head in a hydra like fashion. Not a design seen very often and then usually in green this in a clear almost colourless glaze is rare. Probably not so rare in its day as such bright designs would have been mostly used for walls where they would reflect light well. Of course wall tiles tend to disappear with the buildings they were installed in rather than in washstands and fireplaces from whence come most antique glazed tiles. Verso very clean, one of Gibbons Hinton's bar variations, embossed pattern number.
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.
