Maw & Company, Ltd. - Circa 1885

  "Pink Floral"

-- Antique * Transfer Printed * Aesthetic Movement  --

 "A wonderful conditioned tile, of the, tinted, transfer-printed, type, tile, featuring a hand colored, floral design, completely intact."



Condition: Excellent

The tile presents well and its, colorful, hand-tinted, floral design, with its Chocolate Brown ink printing is good as it gets for this year.

While the glaze displays the typical crazing of such tiles, no damage extends to the tile's clay biscuit, whose four corners remain in full.

The verso displays an early Nine Box grip pattern, without any markings embossed upon it, as prior to 1891, there were no laws in place to mandate any.  After 1891, for example, "England" was mandated.

Verso stains to the white clay indicate this tile escaped the hazards of the English Fireplace, and must have spent its life installed upon a piece of furniture, where it only suffered a hundred years of being cleaned with vinegar and water.

Please examine our provided high-resolution scans of this tile to determine its exact state.
