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 a good condition with some bright colour remaining in the top right corner. Some patches of slip are missing and the tile is worn on the bottom left. Mortar is attached to the reverse of the tile, including in the single central scoop.
