Lot 54: A Pair of Mid-Century Modern Tubelined Ceramic Floral Wall Plaques

A pair of rectangular ceramic wall plaques, each constructed from two vertical earthenware tiles. The plaques are decorated in a high-relief tubelined technique, creating distinct compartments for the glossy coloured glazes. The upper plaque depicts a floral arrangement of red, dark burgundy, and orange blossoms with green foliage against a mottled, metallic bronze-brown ground. The lower plaque features larger floral motifs, including a prominent orange and red lily-type flower and a bright yellow flower with a white centre, set against a slate-grey ground.

Both plaques are mounted within their original black metal frames, featuring rod-style horizontal bars finished with scroll-end finials. The reverse of the tiles is not visible for inspection. The lower plaque retains two adhesive white rectangular paper labels; the upper label is blank except for a small blue ‘P’, and the lower label bears the printed text ‘SHELLEY AUCTIONEERS’ and the lot number ’54’.
