Just one tiny rim chip, half a dozen pinpricks,
other very minor surface marks. Style:
Aesthetic movement An excellent and rather rare tile printed in
earth tones on a red clay body, the aesthetic
movement drawing from many tastes this tends
towards renaissance style. The body is
semi-vitrified and very strong and durable red
clay, the colours gleam with a good glaze and
are particularly receptive to firelight the red,
orange and yellow of the fire picking up the
tile colours and reflected in the glaze. Such
tiles are scarcely found from Mintons, other
makers were more prolific although Mintons did
make some panels in similar colours. Verso clean of adhesive, some smoke stain,
embossed Mintons etc.
