Bottom left corner slightly trimmed for the
orginal installation, bottom right corner slight
wear, surface very near perfect. Style: Art
nouveau An excellent art nouveau tile of the 'triple
tulip' genre richly glazed in five colours with
an additional black stain painted over the
raised outline. Richards are the only company to
have done this to any great extent and it was to
take away the bright white of the outline
detracting from the rich glazes. So as with
tubeline when the outline is usually dark
(stained or coloured clay) and fades in to the
background unless intended otherwise by the
artist the bright white outline that can spoil
is disguised. This design is indeed one of the
most often erroneously described as tubeline yet
on this example one can barely see the outlines
for the surface is almost as smooth as
glass. Versos very clean embossed registration
number and England, pattern number rubber
stamped. Bottom right corner trimmed for the orginal
installation, tiny chip bottom edge, surface very
near perfect. Top right corner trimmed for the orginal
installation, surface very near perfect. Top corners trimmed for the orginal
installation, mark top edge is a manufacturing
flaw, surface very near perfect.
