Two glaze chips right edge, 'chip' bottom edge
is a manfacturing flaw, very clean and bright,
brilliant glazes. • Style/technique: Gothic print &
tint A fabulous rich, bright and lively design the
epitome of confidence and decadence at the peak
of empire. Printed in mid brown and coloured
with six colours, good bright colours, and
further glazed with an excellent translucnt
glaze. Most people are familiar with Victoriana,
this is kind of Edwardiana the equivalent in the
decade following Victoriana. Bold, fussy and
colourful with a little less symmetry. Not so
often found as it competed with art nouveau,
neo-classical, rennaisance, gothic and other
styles still in evidence, this lends itself more
to the genre of renaissance than other. Versos very clean some with rare locks. A short partial hairline right edge which
doesn't appear verso howeverit does coincide with a
rarely found lock this lock back. This was clearly
experminetal as rarely seen such manufacturing
flaws for that is what the hairline really is would
have caused the abandonment of the lock. A couple of minute marks, minor manufacturing
flaws, this has the rare lock back. 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.
