Condition: Fairly good Apparent chips left edge are glazed over
manufacturing flaws, there are however a few tiny
chips/roughness to the rim, surface is rather
scratched but not so much as to be clearly seen
unless caught at an angle in the light. . • Style:
Renaissance I confess to finding this design rather
curious it was however quite popular for we see
it from time to time and by several companies.
Mostly seen as a plain print in various colours
but also seen tinted, this quite a different
example for the print is softer greatly
relieving the brashness and the background is
painted with a deep zaffer blue. This appears to
be in quite a stiff glaze mix for threr is some
thickness, some texture to it and it has some
translucency. So all in all a rather unusual and
flamboyant tile and of interest to collectors of
cobalt/zaffer blue. Verso very clean embossed Maw & Co Ld
England.
