Style:
Victoriana A fabulous quality tile from this famous
company. The design near abstract yet with its
basis in the forms of natural flora and the
suggestion of the flaming sun and a perfect
blend of modernity and classicism. Wonderful
engraving and printing in four colours creating
that opulent blue and gold effect. A wonderfully
clear and bright glaze too, a superb tile. The design quite rarely found, again one
wonders why this was not more popular, apart
from the price of course, for it exudes quality.
Perhaps too far removed from classicism for
Mintons' market at the time when its most
popular designs were Queen Anne style. This
design is so different that to my eye it does
not readily fit into any of the design genres
especially those of the times. Verso perfectly clean, embossed Mintons
etc.
