This is rather fascinating, a design that should have been popular but it is rarely found, this example of the design in a gorgeous if somewhat inexact 'flow-blue'. Appearing in the Mintons' catalogue as pattern number 2170 in turquoise on white (Mintons' pattern numbers included colours and I don't think this could be called turquoise) and on a sheet dating from 1888.

Perhaps the choice of 'block' print to create the design rather than lithoprint the reason for its rarity for it sure is the kind of uncontroversial gothic influenced design that should have appealed to a wide range of tastes.

Also perhaps more a tile for the student of design history/researcher for Mintons registered few designs in the 1880s.

Verso very clean, embossed Mintons etc., printed registration number.
