A super arts & crafts movement style
design depicting a bird (a wren I think) in a
bush with flowers, fruits and leaves within a
trellis like border. A good full design that
fills the tile, nicely moulded in quite high
relief and with a dark jade green glaze.
Verso very clean, rings with flower and stars
embossed.
Short scratch lower right, a few very tiny >
minute edge/surface chips.
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 jpg format.
Customers may request a larger 120 dpi image also
in maximum quality JPEG format for closer
inspection which will be sent by email.
