Summary
Floor Tile - Design 12 – This design is depicts two and a half rosettes (five petalled with granulated centres) in a row, set within double bands above and beneath rosettes. There is also seaweed type foliage in the top left and bottom right of the design. The tile has a straight bevelled edge and a single shallow scoop in the reverse. This design has been made in two colours - either light and dark olive or red/brown and yellow. This design is part of a 16 tile set with designs 18 and 19, and another currently unidentified tile in the centre. (Group C – Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report). The tile is in stable condition as much of the design has been worn away, including the imprint. There is a patch of slip remaining in one corner which makes the design identifiable. No glaze remains except for a small amount along one edge.
