Arts and Crafts Tile Plaque with Semi-nude Maiden

19th century
Description

Arts and Crafts tile plaque with semi-nude maiden.

A glazed, relief pottery tile manufactured by Craven Dunhill in the Art Nouveau style.

Stamped ‘CRAVEN DUNNILL & Co LIMITED, JACKFIELD IRONBRIDGE SALOP’ on the reverse, and inscribed with the date 1899. Additionally inscribed ‘15D’ which corresponds to pattern number.

32.5cm high x 17.5cm wide including the frame.

Craven Dunnill & Co. Ltd. (formerly Hargreaves & Craven, then Hargreaves, Craven Dunnill & Co.) was formed on 9 February 1872, by Yorkshire businessman Henry Powell Dunnill (1821–95), at Jackfield, Shropshire, England. The firm was to become one of Britain's leading producers of ceramic tiles. Initially based in old buildings in Jackfield, the firm relocated to a nearby new factory, known as the 'Jackfield Works', on 25 February 1874.

The historic Jackfield Works site was acquired by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in 1983, and part of it is now managed as the Jackfield Tile Museum, one of many museums operated by the Trust.

More recently Craven Dunnill Jackfield were responsible for restoring the flooring of the Central Lobby of the House of Commons, relaying 60,000 tiles following the original design of Augustus Welby Pugin. The final tile was laid in April 2021 concluding a nine-year long project.

FAQs

An Arts and Crafts ceramic tile plaque is a decorative panel crafted from moulded earthenware, created during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These tiles feature hand-carved or pressed high-relief designs depicting allegorical figures, botanical motifs, or narrative scenes, often finished with translucent glazes.

These tiles were produced using refined earthenware clay pressed into plaster moulds. Translucent monochrome lead glazes, such as amber, ochre, or green, were applied to allow pigment pooling in recessed areas, thereby accentuating the three-dimensional detail.

Authentic period tiles usually display natural surface crazing within the translucent glaze, crisp moulding details, and heavy earthenware bodies. The reverse often shows manufacturer stamps, grid patterns, or keying grooves designed for mounting into frames or architectural installations.

A framed relief plaque functions effectively as part of a curated gallery wall or hung individually in a narrow hallway or alcove. Pairing tactile ceramic art with contemporary graphic prints or minimal timber furniture creates an engaging visual contrast.

Dust the tile regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid immersing framed pieces in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as liquids can penetrate fine glaze crazing or damage wooden backings.
