Mintons Pictorial Transfer Trivet / Pot Stand
Style/technique: Pictorial print Manufacturer: Mintons China Works Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: circa 1890   One of a series of landscapes featuring historic buildings, widely attributed to William Wise. Anne Hathaway's Cottage is a picturesque farmhouse in the village of Shottery a mile from Stratford upon Avon, it was the pre-marital home of William Shakespeare's wife. This is a tile with four ceramic feet fitted to make a trivet or pot stand, they were quite popular in late Victorian times and often feature pictorial designs. Being on the dining table their intricate patterns could be more readily appreciated than when fixed to walls, fireplaces and furniture as the majority of tiles were. This series is relatively uncommon, as the end of the century approached printed landscape patterns became less popular; perhaps as more colours became achievable and art tiles were in vogue.

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.
