Minute chip top left
corner, incredibly brilliant glaze. Style: Arts & crafts floral A very rarely found and most superb design
from this the most prolific art tile company. On
a rarely found 'heavy' high fired red clay body
with a textured surface, overpainted with engobe
and further painted with opaque and translucent
stains and finished with a most brilliant
translucent glaze. The sort of bold floral
design that provokes the reaction 'William de
Morgan' but this is most likely George Cartlidge
who was art director for Sherwins, de Morgan
didn't do anything as complex as these. Fabulous
colours, rich blue, great purple and red and
dynamic greens for the foliage. Verso very clean, embossed Sherwin's Patent
etc and triangle mark, written pattern number,
very slight mortar remains in the locks, slight
clay loss from removal
