A nice, pretty art nouveau design from Maw & Co from whom we do not see too many art nouveau tiles, along with major 19thC specialist tile makers like Minton Hollins and Malkin most of their business continued to be in floor tiles. Wonderful rockingham background and bright blue in the flowers. The design appears in C H Temple's sketch book.

Verso a bit smoke stained but free of any adhesive residue, an unusual Maw's pattern, they did dozens and identifying them all is far from easy.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required.

The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
