SUPER VICTORIAN Art Nouveau / Arts & Crafts FLORAL ANTIQUE PILKINGTON TILE c1902:
$107.39

ORIGINAL VICTORIAN FLORAL PILKINGTON TILE c1902.

VERY RARE COLOURWAY OF THE JAPANESE/CHINESE LANTERN PLANT with TURQUOISE rather than ORANGE-RED SEED PODS.

THIS SUPER PILKINGTON TILE IS BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED WITH FLOWERS AND SWIRLING FOLIAGE OF THE JAPANESE/CHINESE LANTERN PLANT. THIS DESIGN REALLY FILLS THE TILE AND THE VIBRANT TURQUOISE AND GREEN COLOURS ALSO HAVE A LOVELY IRIDESCENT SHEEN. IT HAS A HIGH QUALITY GLAZE FINISH WITH A LIGHTLY MOULDED RELIEF FOR A NICELY TEXTURED FEEL. IT REALLY IS A VERY PRETTY TILE.

THIS HEAVY, OLD TILEMEASURES 6 X 6 INCHES AND HAS THE PILKINGTON \'P\' AND THE REGISTERED NUMBER \'400269\' ON THE REVERSE WHICH DATES IT TO c1902.

THE TILE SHOWS CRAZING, COMMENSURATE WITH AGE, AND THERE IS A TINY EDGE FLAKE ON ONE OF THE CORNER EDGES WHICH HAS BEEN THERE FROM MANUFACTURE AS IT HAS A GLAZE COVERING FROM ORIGINAL FIRING. THIS IS REALLY ONLY NOTICEABLE FROM A SIDE VIEW AS IT BARELY REACHES THE TILE SURFACE AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS 6 & 7 AND IS MENTIONED FOR ACCURACY. OTHERWISE, THIS EXCELLENT VICTORIAN TILE IS IN SUPERB, VINTAGE CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND IT WILL MAKE A LOVELY ADDITION TO ANY TILE COLLECTION.
