The powers of the columbine can destroy pestilence and cause dogs to cease from barking ~from a medieval pharmacopeaia
Columbine is my favorite of the early tiles. It is one of the earliest Morris, Marshall, and Faulkner tiles and was produced in both blue and white, and in blue-lavender-yellow polychrome tile. It's wonderful.
Most of the original Columbine tiles that remain are blue with a white background. The polychrome tile is based on an unusual variant, with the gradient lavender-blue to yellow-cream background.
