A few minute edge chips, corners have been very
slightly rounded either in manufacturing or for its
original fitting, a little wear to high spots and
some wearing of the gilt especially on the dark
green leaves but the gilt around the petals is in
fine condition and shows really brightly when the
tile is seen in real life. Style: Arts & crafts floral A very rare example of Wedgwood's barbotine
stencil tiles being gilded as well as
stencilled. A slightly abstract floral design
crisp and asymmetric pattern with an aesthetic
feel in natural earth tones with gold leaf
applied around the petals and to show the veins
on the petals and leaves. The gilding is
difficult to capture in the image but when
viewed as one normally would, the gold leaf
brings the design to life. Verso with painted pattern number and
gilder's mark.
