Very tiny chip top edge, other exceedingly minor
marks, spotlessly clean with glorious brilliance in
the glazes. Style: Art
Nouveau A great art nouveau design, an early example,
one of the rare victorian art nouveau tile
designs being registered in May 1900. Full art
nouveau yet still showing influences of arts
& crafts design, fills the tile without
being overbearing. Glorious brilliant glazes,
this design seen from time to time these colours
and glazes the best I have seen it in. Verso very clean, embossed 'registered'
indicating manufacture in the summer of 1900
before the registration number had been received
by the company. Therefore a true victorian
(Queen Victoria died 22 January 1901) art
nouveau tile for despite the oft used phrase
'victorian art nouveau' 99% or more of art
nouveau is edwardian or later.
