Antique Art Nouveau / Jugendstil tile by Norddeutsche Steingutfabrik (NStG), Grohn, Germany, dating from the early 20th century, circa 1900–1910. The tile features an elegant symmetrical arrangement of stylized pansy flowers. A row of richly coloured flowers extends across the upper part of the design, combining deep cobalt blue, violet, pale blue and small yellow accents. Long slender stems curve gracefully downwards and meet a pair of green leaves at the base. The flowers stand out dramatically against the deep olive-green glazed background. The decoration is executed in moulded relief, with raised pale outlines defining the flowers, stems and leaves and separating the different coloured glazes. Tile is in wonderful condition.
