8" Moyr Smith Minton Classical Musician Tile
Style/technique: Pictorial transfer print Manufacturer: Mintons China Works Dimensions: 8" x 8" Date: circa 1880   One of a series of eight musicians playing classical instruments introduced around 1877, this of a man playing pan pipes. A great design by Moyr Smith, the blocks of colour, restrained design and larger dimensions make this tile a very accessible piece of art. To my mind the best of the reasonably often found Moyr Smith series which definitely benefits from the larger scale compared to six inch series. Only produced in four colourways according to the record and catalogue but on odd occassions another colourway emerges. This is the second most often found colourway but quite rare, probably one-tenth as many found as with the more widely collected dark grey/green surround.   Condition: Excellent Price: £240 (approx $360) Ref: 03366   Some tiny edge chips all well within the plain border, surface is very near perfect.

The image is a scan of the tile 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. 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 a more detailed description of how we describe marks see Condition.
