AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful English Art Nouveau / Arts & Crafts tile with brass holder (c. 1906)

Country of origin: United Kingdom (England)

Region / Factory region: Staffordshire / English pottery industry

Dating: Circa 1906 (based on the British registration number Rd. No. 475014)

Tile dimensions: approx. 15.5 cm x 15.5 cm (including the elegant brass-colored holder: approx. 17 x 17 cm)
Weight: 400 grams

Condition: with a very small chip, otherwise good, beautifully glossy condition with an enchanting iridescent effect and a atmospheric aged patina. By adding metal oxides to the glaze and firing it in a special way, you obtain a microscopically thin gloss layer that breaks the light. This makes the magical rainbow colors (such as purple, green, gold and blue) dance across the dark surface at a certain light angle. It greatly enhances the Art Nouveau character, because designers of the period adored such natural, fairy-tale lighting effects.

Description of the object:
Beautiful and atmospheric antique English tile from the early 20th century, executed in the distinctive and beloved Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) / Arts & Crafts style. The back of the tile bears the embossed stamp "ENGLAND" and the official British model registration number "RD NO 475014", which accurately dates this model to 1906.

The tile is decorated with a stylized botanical motif in which floral elements and flowing organic lines meet — typical of the aesthetics of the Edwardian period in Great Britain. The glaze is in fantastic condition and has a deep, beautiful iridescent high gloss that catches and reflects light beautifully in the space.

Use and History:
Around 1900, such high-quality ceramic tiles were produced in England by leading pottery factories. They were originally used primarily as heat-resistant and decorative inlays in hearth alcoves, stoves, or as luxurious wall tiles in stylish interiors.

The Presentation:
This piece is supplied with a matching brass-colored metal decorative holder (measuring 17 x 17 cm). The warm, gold-like tone of the holder blends seamlessly with the rich glaze of the tile. Thanks to this holder, the object instantly becomes an atmospheric showpiece that sits beautifully on a sideboard, table, or open hearth. An absolute eye-catcher for lovers of antique ceramics and Art Nouveau design!

Packed with utmost care using bubble wrap, foam and cardboard with a box-in-a-box and registered/insured shipping.

The plastic holder is for photo presentation only and is not part of the lot.
