• Date: circa 1905

 

A fabulous bold art nouveau design moulded in high relief with the bold flowers suggestive of tudor roses. Unusual in general and especially for Richards verso is indented with the pattern to maintain constant thickness of clay and avoid shrinkage problems.

Verso has remains of cement in the recess and slight clay loss from cement removal.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. 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.
