Quatrefoil on Brick Facade: Ceramic Tile with Blue Glazed Ornament

#1167. Quatrefoil on Brick Facade: Ceramic Tile with Blue Glazed Ornament

The image depicts a remarkable facade detail in the form of a decorative ceramic element embedded in a brick wall. This architectural accent is designed as a quatrefoil with a glazed surface.

The frame is made of green ceramics with an embossed floral pattern, forming an elegant contour around the central part. The inner space of the quatrefoil is filled with vibrant blue tiles featuring a decorative plant ornament in yellow and green hues. The pattern on the tiles is symmetrical and resembles stylized leaves and floral motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau or Neo-Gothic styles.

This architectural element demonstrates a subtle combination of textures and colors: the warm terracotta shade of the brickwork contrasts with the cool blue tones of the tiles and rich green frame. Such decorative details were popular in late 19th - early 20th century architecture and were often used to enliven the austere brick facades of public buildings, mansions, or churches.

The condition of the ceramic element indicates some damage, especially in the upper part of the frame, which testifies to the age of the structure and the need for restoration work to preserve this exquisite example of architectural ceramics.
