• Style/technique: Impressionist handpainted • Manufacturer: Copeland Spode • Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 2 • Date: 1887	An oustanding pair of fine art tiles painted with an impressionist feel and dating from 1887. Views of two major buildings seen from across a river the first being Windsor Castle across the River Thames, the second seems familiar but I can't place it. Of remarkable quality for tiles and painted on most durable buff clay blanks hand made by Copeland. Unsigned, believed to have been decorated in house at Copeland rather than by an independent studio. Whilst some decorating studios used Copeland blanks in the 1870s by 1887 most major studios were using dust pressed blanks especially those from Minton Hollins. Versos perfectly clean with Copeland and date mark for 1887 stamped in the clay.
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.
