A very pleasant floral design within an aesthetic styled border, a little unusual with the dark background, relatively few tiles were so decorated and they make for an interesting niche in the variety of tile designs. Elements of arts and crafts movement style with the fullness of the design and interweaving of the stems and japanoiserie theme of blossoms in an overall botanical design. Good contrast with the highlighted white flowers, the clay body is off-white, enamelled white was prone to bubbling but this has been very successful.
