• Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica • Manufacturer: Unattributed • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1905	A fabulous and rare art nouveau design, moulded in high relief and painted in four colours, super colours and brilliant glazes, an outstanding quality tile. High relief art nouveau designs are rare also this design being clearly intended for a frieze was used mostly for wall tiling so rarely if ever appears in fireplaces and furniture from whence most antique tiles are sourced. Not marked and unattributed, other tiles from the same installation were by Maw and Carter so either is best bet. Few companies attempted high relief majolica tiles but both Maw and Carter did (it appears that there may have been a trading relationship between the two companies perhaps Maw making tiles for Carter) however the pattern number not consistent with either so maybe Maws made this for a third company. Verso impressed version of front design to give a constant thickness of clay and make for a more durable tile. Very clean, a little clay loss where cement has been removed, painted pattern number.

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.
