• Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica • Manufacturer: Gibbons Hinton • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1907	This is a design I really get to ethuse about, I have had one in my collection for twenty years or more but see it in the marketplace rarely, a top twenty design in my collection and only recently deposed from the top ten. The best of the genre, the epitome of elegant art nouveau, refined simplicity. Super symmetry and flow of the line, the outline is very slender more like the effect of scoring wet clay with a pointed spatula than the more solid tube lined and typical cloisonné moulded outlines. Of excellent quality manufacture the colours are sensitively painted and accord with the elegant style, I have seen it with a green background which detracted from the design qualities, this is surely an example of design where less is more. Austwick reproduces a page from Gibbins Hinton catalogue and this is shown. Versos perfectly clean and unmarked save for pattern number.
Condition: Excellent Price: £135 (approx $201) Ref: #03489H UK Special Delivery £143 EU Airsure £147 US and World Airsure £151 Currency Converter Few very tiny rim chips mostly bottom edge (the one in the middle is a glazed over manufacturing flaw). Two minute surface chips on the background otherwise the surface is perfect.
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.
