Style:
Gothic cornucopia A most incredible tile in high relief and
featuring a variety of fruits set within a
gothic quatrefoil. Very rarely found, the only
time I can recall seeing the design before it
was decorated in blue and white. These are
superb colours very much in the mould of mid
19th century majolica being slightly gaudy. Removed from its original frame just prior to
my buying it the condition is outstanding, quite
exceptional for a high relief tiles there is no
damage or wear whatsoever. A top tile in almost
any collection or a superb centriepece in an
installation, I doubt I shall ever see it's
equal - well apart from the fact that I bought
two and could not resist keeping the other for
my collection :-) Verso perfectly clean, impressed pattern to
ensure consistent thickess of the clay, embossed
Minton, Hollins etc.
