This is a set of seven matching tiles by T R Boote of England. These have a great majolica or tube lined design with raised borders giving a depth of color. The background is blue/green and there is a design of three tall flowers in pink, with darker pink stamens. The design is Art Nouveau or Art & Crafts in its look. Please use the zoom function to see all the great details. These tiles have some scars of age: they all have corner damage and some crazing to the glaze. There is a bit of color variation in the backgrounds. Two of the tiles have a damaged left edge, as shown. There are also two tiles with manufacturing flaws: one pink area on an edge and one’dimple,’ both underglaze. I think that all these can be used with careful setting to minimize the corner and edge damage. It is so unusual to find a set of tiles from this era! These seven can be used to make a border.
