Minton Hollins Aesthetic Transfer Printed Tile
Style/technique: Aesthetic Print Manufacturer: Minton Hollins Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: Circa 1880   A beautifully detailed aesthetic period tile with a multitude of elements, scenes of country landscapes, children playing outdoors, a ram, butterflies and flowers with five different stylised floral and geometric borders. A fun and entertaining tile in nice colours the dark brown print showing well against the buff clay body. The inspiration for the design apparently from a variety of souces including the ram from Hope-Crealock and the 'Kate Greenaway' girls probably from Lucien Besche.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required. The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light.
