Several tiny chips to the rim barely exceeding
the outer buff band, near perfect surface. Style: Aesthetic An amazing encaustic tile finely decorated
with a charming aesthetic floral design. A rare
example from this fabulous company, true tile
specialists using a wide range of manufacturing
and decorating techniques most all of super
quality. A most heavy tile weighing over 2lbs,
more than double regular tiles, almost an inch
thick with a strong layer of heavy red clay
sandwiched between buff, the colours in inlaid
clay. Remarkably with a three dimensional
finish, quite how they achieved this on an
encaustic tile is a mystery to me assuming it to
have been commercially viable, the colours
recessed in the buff at different levels. Verso very clean, unusually impressed "Nr
Ironbridge" together with design registration
mark, also impressed presumably a pattern number
and date of manufacture.
