The square tiles were used for covering the wall. They are decorated with four, diagonally placed, stylized fantasy flower heads, contoured with dark green, shaded with lighter screen spots and screen network. In the centre, the stems create a small square. Two tulips spring from each flower head bent towards each other in the corners. The tulips are coloured with a square screen network with yellow patch, overglaze. The transfer picture was probably not Hungarian.
