Very cleverly asymmetric, the background decoration resembling crotchets diffuses the asymmetry of the poppy and produces a well balanced tile. Excellent design work, who did the designs for Richards is unknown but they surely employed some very skilled artists. Designed in 1905 this was made somewhat later, verso is more recent with 'Richards' embossed - The Henry Richards Tile Company adopted the abbreviated form of name 'Richards Tiles' in or around 1931. Quite surprisingly these later tiles have even richer glazes than the edwardian examples. Versos very clean, some slight stain, embossed Richards, England and pattern number.   Information Tiles For Sale Contacts Order Information
