Outstanding German Mackintosh rose tile circa 1905.  Maker Norddeutsche Steingutfabrik (NStG), Bremen-Grohn, Germany.  Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a famous Scottish Art Nouveau designer and this circular rose is one of his designs.  The crazing in the tile is pronounced and adds to the tile’s appeal.  This tile is shown on page 147 of Michael Wiesser’s authoritative book “Jugendstilfliesen”.  This is a unique German collector’s item and antique art work!
