Minute chip top edge, very minor surface
marks. Style: Watteau landscape A charming 18th century scene of a young man
offering a rose to a young woman seated in the
garden in a Rococco style border. One of Mintons
earliest picture series known as 'Watteau'
subjects being in the style of the French artist
Jean-Antoine Watteau and also echoing the
earliest transfer printed tiles of Sadler and
Green. The design dates from the mid 19th
century but this tile would have been made
around 1880. A tile from the series is
illustrated in Lockett on page 193. The black
print on the white body gives a sharp contrast
and shows great detail. Verso near perfectly clean, embossed Mintons
etc.
