A full foral geometric tile with bold
flowerhead surrounded by fronds and with corner
motifs in the later gothic style when simplcity
gave way to complexity. As usual for the company
a good quality tile well printed and tinted with
four colours.
An unusual feature of the tile is that the
printed pattern is slightly raised this would
appear to be additional adherence of glaze to
the print. Whilst most collectors are familiar
with glaze thickness varying between print and
clay it is usually inconsistent suggesting
unintentional, this is precisely the same all
over and either a fluke or intended. I go for
the latter given Craven Dunnill's prowess, it
does add to the visual interest the relief
though slight adds that touch of third
dimaension which even to some extent comes
across in the image onscreen.
Verso perfectly clean, usual embossed naming
and kiln badge, painted pattern number.
