No major damage, two very tiny chips/wear tothe
tips of the petals on the right flower, other very
minor marks. Style: Art nouveau A fabulous and rare design, bold and
dramatic, swirling leaves at the bottom and a
formal flowerhead arrangement above seemingly
standing aloof yet with a bit of swagger. I've
only seen this design thrice in the last decade
or more so quite a rarity and this the best
colourway. Designed as a border tile perhaps
part explaining the rarity but I don't find the
semi-leaves off-putting in the least viewed
individually so more just a design that was too
bold for the majority taste of the times. Evidence suggests the design by New Birch
Tile Co using a grip pattern similar ro the
offset bars used by Henry Richards. Verso very clean, England embossed.
