English Arts And Crafts Tile Red Flower on Green Leaves Texas butterfliesThis colorful Arts and Crafts era tile from England displays a large sang de boeuf red flower at the end of a green stem encircled with vines and leaves. It measures 6" square and 3 8" thick. In the style of William DeMorgan, the flower and leaves fill the tile. The surface is worn, giving flower a soft matte feeling in the center with some shine to the green leaves on the edges.
