Pink Floral Jugendstil Art Nouveau Repro England Tile

The hand-decorated tile (ca. 1910) depicts a pink flower by Henry Abraham Ollivant. Ollivant was an individual who established a tile works company in Cliffe-Vale, England, in 1890. Cliffe-Vale was a historic center of the British ceramic industry, and Ollivant's tile works have been part of a more extensive network of potteries and tile works in the area. Tile making in England has a long history, dating back to the 17th century. By the late 19th century, the area was known for producing high-quality ceramic tiles for both functional and decorative purposes. Ollivant's company has been part of this tradition, making tiles for use in homes, public buildings, and other structures.
