Summary
Floor tile - Design 14 - The design depicts stylised rosettes in circles separated with dots in two bands with sharp edged foliage pierced in places. The tile has straight to slight bevel edge, plus a dull yellow to dark olive glaze. Potentially late 15th to early 16th century. It is part of a 16 tile set with designs 15, 16 and 17. (Group C – Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report). The tile is in very good condition. The surface is a little pitted but most of the slip and glaze remain. There is a small chunk missing along the left hand edge. On the reverse is a single central scoop.
