Just the thin chip to the tip of the bottom
edge. Style/technique: Art nouveau
majolica An excellent art nouveau tile of the 'triple
tulip' genre richly glazed in five colours.
Richly glazed is indeed somewhat of an
understatement for I have never seen glazes so
thickly applied on this design, the effect is
quite wonderful for the glazes are very
translucent and there are no surface marks that
detract. This is one of the most often erroneously
described as tube lined moulded tiles yet on
this example one can barely see the outlines for
the surface is almost as smooth as glass. Verso very clean, embossed registration
number and England.
