An excellent group of art nouveau border
tiles the flowing floral pattern brilliantly
glazed in sky blue and sapphire blue. It is very
rare to find such a group for there are few
strong art nouveau border tiles, it is
especially rare to have the four corners, very
few patterns came with such corners most if
anything having a matching 3" x 3" instead.
The tiles may be configured as border for a
two tiles by four tiles panel as above or for a
one tile by five tiles panel horizontally or
vertically, with an internal border three inches
wide a one tile by three tiles panel could be
used. We may be able to assist with suitable
borders.
Versos some thin remains of latex adhesive
and sparse mortar residue, embossed design
registration number and England, stamped pattern
number.
Two very small and other tiny >
minute rim chips, very minor surface marks,
better than excellent for an installation,
brilliantly glazed.
