A tremendous are rare design perhaps more arts & crafts than art nouveau, rather similar to designs by W J Neatby for Doulton. Embossed and deeply impressed, the tooling to make these would have been very expensive, and incredibly well done with near perfect symmetry. Superbly painted in the most fabulous coloured and brilliant glazes and very substantial tiles at over half an inch thick, top quality throughout.

I have seen this design not so well painted in lesser colours, as so it is unremakable, one would pass it by, these colours and quality of execution a different case altogether.

Rare verso with patent locks, a patent lock rarely seen indeed just once before and on a Wedgwood tile. Patent number 7198 from 1896, these tiles probably made soon afterwards as the locks being so rarely seen likely they made a few and discontinued perhaps due to technical difficulties.

Versos very clean, embossed pattern and patent numbers, painted pattern number.
