Three very tiny corner chips, a couple of minute
edge chips, mark near bottom left corner is a
glazing flaw. Surface is near perfect, nice
brilliant glazes. Style/technique: Abstract floral
majolica A difficult to categorise design as often is
the case with simple florally inspired designs.
Completely timeless, would not look out of place
in a gothic environment, likewise art deco, the
austere fifties or the swinging sixties. The
appeal is in the charming simplicity and the
brilliant glazes. Verso Woolliscroft's patent lock which is
surprisingly rarely found, even in Blanchett the
author had to resort to a drawing. Slightly
grubby, no adhesive residue. Bottom corners trimmed for the original
installation, top left corner very tiny chip, a
little roughness to the tip of the edges and a
couple of manufacturing flaws. Surface is near
perfect, nice brilliant glazes. The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430
pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on
screen is about the size as it would be in real
life at the same distance. 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.
