A few tiny/light surface marks, light mark top edge is a manufacturing flaw, the glaze is a little thin as they didn't want it spilling over the edge, such rich blues always flow more as in flow blue. Fabulous bright colours and brilliant glazes.


 

Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica
Manufacturer: H & R Johnson
Dimensions: 6" x 6"
Date: circa 1925

 

A fabulous art nouveau tile, quite a popular design but with outstanding glazes. Brilliant royal blue background, fabulous bright pink flowers, a great green for the leaves and comforting celadon for the body of the wreath,

This design was first introduced by Alfred Meakin around 1902-3 although this tile was made by H & R Johnson a couple of decades later. It proved to be a popular design and was done in many colourways although this is the most dramatic I have seen. Johnson took over Meakin in 1907, in 1911 they took over Sherwin & Cotton and occupied their Eastwood tileworks and transferred the former Meakin production there too.

Verso perfectly clean and fully marked as per 1920s examples.
