ReferencesThe design is illustrated in the Jon Catleugh, William de Morgan Tiles, Richard Dennis Publishers, Ilminster, Somerset, 2002, on p123. The marks present on the rear of each tile are indexed in the same volume on page 181. Please see the penultimate two photos for illustrations.The condition is excellent. There are a few expecting minor edge chips and general surface crazing in places consistent with age and use. Please see all the photos that I have provided for the best possible guide to condition. There are no significant damages such as cracks, large chips to the centre of the design or repairs. The cut-down tile has had about three quarters of an inch removed from the to, while the tile I have positioned at the bottom of the three has some wear to the rear where it has been removed from its original setting. This does not impact in any way on the decoration on the front of the tile. The three display together beautifully and will look fabulous framed. william morris An amazing find for the discerning collector.
