No damage just a couple of minor manufacturing
flaws. Amazingly great condition, this is a classic
and rare example of the brilliance that captivated
the imagination in the edwardian era, no modern
tiles come close. • Style/technique: Floral block
print This is an excellent tile, a pretty floral
design withing a rococo border. Nicely printed
and coloured with seven colours, note the clay
is slightly creamy so the flowers are
highlighted with brilliant white. Booths' famous
glaze that did not craze and this one hasn't,
furthermore it is most brilliant and the colours
incredibly bright. Verso very clean with printed pattern number
indicating an introduction date of 1897. Some very tiny chips, wear, glaze losses to the
side edges, a little crazing towards the right side
but extremely clean, fabulous colours and most
brilliant glaze. 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.
