Condition: Near
perfect Removed from furniture with very few minor marks
as is usual with sets of period tiles in such good
condition the most obvious faults are manufacturing
flaws. Style: Floral This a design seen from time to time and made
by (at least) two companies but almost
invariably found as a transfer print indeed I
can't recall seeing a coloured example before.
Brown prints not always considered the best
especially for collectors but very flexible in
application reflecting the earth and wood. This
a particularly pleasing warm brown and the
painted colours whilst somewhat restrained for
the times being almost pastel create an overall
effect is most pleasing Versos a little grubby with Boote's typical
ring grip pattern, printed H.P. and painted
pattern number. H.P. not identified the only
known likely candidate being Hardy & Padmore
ironfounders from Worcester.
