Minton Blue and White Japonesque Aesthetic Tile
Style/technique: Japonesque print Manufacturer: Mintons China Works Pattern number: 1643 Dimensions: 6" x 6" Date: circa 1880   A super aesthetic design of vignettes with flowers and a crane and other little flowerheads floating against a key pattern hatched background. A distinctive design of it's period and in a nice shade of blue. On occassion cited as perhaps a Christopher Dresser design but to my mind rather more in the Anglo-Japanese style of the noted architect Thomas Jeckyll who designed ironwork (and perhaps tiles) for Barnard, Bishop & Barnard. In the Mintons China Works catalogue four of these tiles are shown in a group in three different orientations.   Versos almost perfectly clean with Mintons name and badge.

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.
