Within each petal is a red heart. The flower is against eight leaves, four of which are small and blue, and the others large and yellow. All of the latter is within a white clover that is against a blue eight-pointed star. Around the star is a blue chain-like border with flowers at the corners. A border around the entire design is light yellow. Cork matting is on the back. The clay was imported from Italy. The tile, which has the manufacturer's catalog number of 435, was reproduced for resale at The Willows bed and breakfast in Palm Springs where the original design can be found. The object is in mint condition.
