Some very slight roughness to the tip of the rim
otherwise perfect. Style: Aesthetic japanesque An excellent example of the art of design,
aesthetic japonaiserie at its best. One of a
series of six 6x6 designs, relatively uncommon

market). Designed by Owen Gibbons in 1881. Owen Gibbons trained at the South Kensington
School of Art and was for a time curator of the
Royal Architectural Museum, Westminter, London
before becoming head of the Coalbrookdale School
of Art in Shropshire. Whilst there he designed a
number of tiles for Maw & Co. He was also a
principle in the company of Gibbons Hinton &
Co established by his brother Francis Gibbons in
the mid-1880s. Verso very clean, embossed Maw, Broseley,
Floreat Salopia badge etc.
