About the Item

This is a very decorative encaustic ceramic tile made by William Godwin, dating to the 19th century, circa 1870. This tile may have been originally made as a floor tile. Dimensions; 6 x 6 x 0.85 inches. This large tile is a beautiful pressed tile by the William Godwin Company of Lugwardine, Hereford, England. It is inlaid with cream, yellow/gold, dark chocolate brown and orange/red brown clays to form a central distinctive, four section fleur-de-lis pattern . The back of the tile is stamped with; Godwin, Lugwardine, Hereford. The Godwin tile company of Lugwardine was among the more notable English makers of encaustic floor tiles, with many of their tiles used in churches and public buildings during the mid to late 1800s. William and his younger brother Henry started manufacturing encaustic tiles at Lugwardine, Hereford in 1852. This tile is particularly attractive and could be presented set into a wood frame or inset into a wall or room design as an individual feature. NOTES: Encaustic tiles are ceramic tiles in which the pattern or figure on the surface is not a product of the glaze but of different colors of clay. They are usually of two colors but a tile may be composed of as many as six. The pattern appears inlaid into the body of the tile, so that the design remains as the tile is worn down.
