Antique Art Nouveau / Jugendstil tile by Villeroy & Boch, Dresden, Germany, dating from around 1900. The tile features a highly stylized and symmetrical floral composition, with a large central orchid-like flower flanked by two smaller blossoms. The soft mauve-purple flowers are surrounded by elegantly arranged olive-green leaves and stems. The decoration is dust-pressed in moulded relief, creating gently raised outlines that define the flowers, foliage and surrounding frame. The tile is in very good antique condition with fine age-related glaze crazing, minor surface marks and small imperfections consistent with its age and manufacture.
