RARE & QUITE EARLY WILLIAM GODWIN GOTHIC REVIVAL TILE after A. THIS IS A LOVELY QUITE RARE GOTHIC REVIVAL ENCAUSTIC TILE MADE AT THE WILLIAM GODWIN FACTORY LUGWARDINE, HEREFORD IN, I WOULD GUESS 1850’s/60’s AFTER THE MEDIEVEALIST WORK OF AGUSTUS WELBY NORTHMORE PUGIN. IT IS DEPICTED IN A TWO COLOUR (YELLOW OCHRE ON RED OCHRE) ENCAUSTIC GLAZE WITH STYLISED FLOWER HEADS INSIDE ENTWINED ROUNDELS IN THE GOTHIC TASTE. ONE THING SHOULD BE MENTIONED IS ITS THICKNESS (A LITTLE OVER 1 [2.5cm]) WHICH I WOULD GUESS INDICATES IT IS A FLOOR TILE RATHER THAN A WALL VARIETY. THE REVERSE HAS THE MENTIONED DOUBLE’W. GODWIN’ MARK – SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS. IT MEASURES 6 (15.25cm) Sq. APPROX; AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR A TILE OF ITS TYPE AND AGE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME LIGHT FRITTING TO ITS EDGE APART FROM THIS IT LOOKS TO BE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE (ALTHOUGH IT DOES NEED A CLEAN) – AGAIN SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS.
