Ernst Teichert GmbH (later S.O.F.) in Meissen tile. White glazed earthenware base upon which the design is applied using the stenciling method. The central motif is a highly stylized depiction of a peacock, a popular and symbolic subject in Art Nouveau due to its flowing lines and opulent feather display. The peacock is rendered in a dynamic, sweeping posture across the lower half of the tile, as if in flight. The colors used are bold and flat, typical of stenciled designs: the bird's body and the main, voluminous tail feathers are painted in a vibrant royal or cobalt blue. A secondary part of its wing and a large, flowing tail element are colored in a muted, delicate rose-pink or mauve.
