Tiny chip top edge, two minute chips left edge,
surface near perfect. Style:
Pictorial Suspicion, an excellent tile from this series
of Rustic Humours by Mintons, tiles from the
series come to market infrequently. Quite why
the series is so named is a mystery indeed the
attributes may seem to apply more to towns and
cities, perhaps to redress the balance as the
countryside is usually represented as idyllic
contrasting with the smoke, grime, and crime of
the cities. Most tiles of course were sold to
inhabitants of towns and cities. In a super,
rich shade of blue. Verso just a little grubby, embossed Mintons
etc and badge.
