Manufacturing flaw and subsequent minute chip
top left corner, slender chip bottom left corner,
some short, scratches and other very minor marks,
light speck near top right a manufacturing
flaw. Style: Art deco A rather curious design a convergence of
styles, art deco to the fore but with art
nouveau and classical references. Unusual to see
this kind of design on tile, the heyday of tile
making past already and plain tiles making areas
of block colour the fashion with few if any
decorated tiles for higlights. Super and unusual range of colours all in
brillant gloss glazes. A typical and warming
earthy brown background, minty green wreath
aroiund a shield-like device in shades of
purplish-grey including heart shapes and with a
lemon yellow 'totem'. Versos just a little grubby, embossed H &
R Johnson, Cristal and badge, England, pattern
number and various other numbers. Scratch lower right, speck of kiln dirty near
top edge, other minor marks
