Fascinating design after its simplicity. An exotic Passiflora flower in 3 brilliant colors where the turquoise stands out. The backround is not a plain white but is dyed by a soft pure green. We have many of these tiles – ideal for kitchens Inscriptions 121 inscribed in circle.

- CONDITION: This tile is in perfect condition, no flaws or repairs exist. Cement on reverse was carefully removed so minimal traces are remaining. Surface, as you can see, has a firm color and smooth glaze surface. Only minimal scratches and tiny chips may be seen, but this is nothing for a more than 100 year old architectural piece.
