Condition Report

Chip bottom edge, half a dozen very tiny chips, rubbing to high points and other very minor marks. great rilliance in the glazes.

 

A most unusual tile the style being in the aesthetic quartered layout with gothic influenced designs. A strong buff clay body decorated with opaque glazes to mask the colour of the clay. Possibly quite a bit earlier, 1870s.

Verso very clean ladder style, pattern number painted. The die has been modified there being evidence of a badge in the shape of Mintons China Works Walbrook badge with the ribbons extended and it appears likely it was made by Campbell Tile Co.

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.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. Customers may request a larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format for closer inspection which will be sent by email.
