Aesthetic/Arts & Crafts Movement Style Transfer Print Tile
Style/technique: Aesthetic print Manufacturer: Mintons China Works Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: circa 1885   An excellent period tile in a most unusual bright pink featuring groups of stylised flowers alternating in positive and negative in an offset grid arrangement, printed overglaze as the colour could not withstand the higher temperatures of being fired underglaze. Reputed to be a design by William Morris and taken up by Mintons although the pattern number indicates rather early a date for Morris' involvement. The design has various pattern numbers according to the colorway the number of this is unknown, it has the number 1071 in blue and tan and 1377 in blue, grey and 'gold'. The earlier number puts in in to the era before Minton Hollins and Mintons China Works split pre 1868, a little early for Morris and suggesting maybe that it was designed by Pugin. Clean offset verso with embossed name etc.

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. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
