A rather rare embossed majolica tile from Booth though they made few this is one of the two most often seen. Well embossed with mythical birds and mask in the renaissance style finished in a warm brown glaze.

Booth was one of the finest makers of floral majolica tiles in the late nineteenth century with brilliant colurs and glazes their tiles have many fans. Specialising in high quality tiles for fireplaces they made tiles for the prestitiguous Carron Company amongst others however they failed to make the transition to embossed tiles almost eschewing the art nouveau style.

Verso clean but slightly grubby, unmarked but typical grid pattern however often attributed to Woolliscroft in great part due to misdirection from prominent eBay sellers.
