Custom-compounded metallic oxide glazes create a deep, glass-like impasto relief texture. Fine Art Verso \u0026amp; Signature Note: Factual confirmation of the artist's incised signature 'NANNING DE VRIES' hand-painted in white script in the lower right corner. The verso retains its original mid-century structural timber backing board framework, original iron eyelet loops, and a heavy-duty wire mounting system with vintage handwritten studio stock codes 'L 87 G' visible in pencil on the upper rear frame rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Intended Use: Premium architectural installation or residential fine art feature wall. Alternate Suggested Use: Mid-century statement artwork above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or tiled alcove entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48603598913734,"sku":"012-November-2026","price":4815.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/6-9D58_1.jpg?v=1793694178","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/bg\/products\/nanning-de-vries-signed-six-tile-ceramic-floral-mural","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
