If mounted in checkrow, one above the other, the wall tiles create an endless pattern. The relief, S-shaped, curving, leafed tendril protrude from a lace-like base of tiny, horizontal dents the bottom one shows two full blossoms and a bud, as well as three tiny flowers, while the top one is decorated with one full blossom and two buds. The background is purple-brown, the plant is greenish-brown, while the flowers are honey- yellow. The thicker layers of the transparent glaze create a darker shade in the dents than on the protruding motifs or on the edges. The tiles were also produced in a larger size, see Cat. No. 2.40.
