Highly stylised flower and buds perhaps between carnations and honeysuckle framed by borders and corner motifs of fans. Wiltshaw & Robinson tiles are rarely found and they seem to all have been made for them by Marsden being transfer prints and barbotine stencil. In addition this is a rare patent process, so rare that it is the first example that I saw. The tile is marked 'Patent' verso, the patent was issued in 1890 the same year the design as registered and refers to a second print overlying the first. A number of floral patterns were 'aestheticised' with new printing plates adding a mesh effect, Marsden's patented method enabled doing so with a variety of mesh types such as grid, diamond, lace etc without the need to make new printing plates. Also verso is the W & R swallow stamp, the design registration number is printed on one edge.     Information Tiles For Sale Contacts Order Information
