One of my favourites of the type, a lively floral design with the sort of irreverance we find in the wildest art nouveau designs. Illustrated in Thomas Elsley's Portland Metal Works catalogue cards in two other colourways, it is highly likely that, indeed improbable that, Elsley did not also retail the blue and white version. Called named Monkey Flower, an apt name for such a cheeky design, it was made in Holland primarily for the british arts & crafts clientele. For more information about such tiles see the excellent book William Morris Tiles by Richard and Hilary Myers.

Versos very clean, unmarked, slight remains of mortar to edges.
