Top corners trimmed for the original dry fixing,
very slight surface marks. Very clean and brilliant
glazes. Style/technique: Art nouveau
majolica An excellent and rarely found Art Nouveau
tile of the secessionist school. I love the
colours which remind of bronze and gold, even
though I may wish for reds and blues these have
great warmth indeed one might say they are
classy, the varying hues particularly of the
background give great depth. Five colours within
a narrow spectrum add to the feel of refinement
created by the design, the glazes are most
brilliant and the elements combine to make a
most appealling tile. It carries an air of
quality which is surprising for Boote who
competed in the 'affordable' bracket of tile
makers. Verso perfectly clean apart from a narrow
band of stain from adhesive around the edges,
plain unmarked grid. The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430
pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format.. 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.
