Early Minton Hollins 8" Block Print Tile
Style/technique: Gothic print Manufacturer: Minton Hollins Dimensions: 8" x 8" Date: circa 1870   An early example of Reynolds Patent multicolour printing, pre 1880 and quite possibly 1860s. Uncommon as Reynolds patent printing on Minton Hollins tiles aren't that often found, staunch competitor Campbell acquired the services of Reynolds. Printed in three strong colours including an excellent black on a bright white body. This design appears on sheet 13 of Mintons China Works catalogue as pattern number 1202 which indicates an origination date prior to the split of the Minton & Co businesses in to two companies. It being in the gothic style therefore according to the catalogue's introduction the design is by Pugin. Verso a little grubby, fully named as usual for Minton Hollins.
Condition: Very good Price: £65 (approx $129) Ref: 02869 A few small chips to the edges and light surface marks not unreasonable considering it is a fireplace tile of a relatively early date. Displays just fine. Surface mark near lower right edge is a manufacturing flaw. Good glaze brilliance.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 570 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. Surface 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.
