Three large pomegranates are growing from curving branches, that extend from top edge of tile. Leaves and offshoots, from same branches, decorate rest of surface. All are coloured dark green. White marks throughout design, highlighting veins in leaves and stem remnants on pomegranates. Five vertical ridges on back of tile. Manufacturer’s mark, Maw & Co., stamped between ridges.
