• Style/technique: Aesthetic floral print and tint • Manufacturer: Minton Hollins • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: design registered 1880	A nice Victorian floral/geometric printed tile, excellent quality as one would expect for Minton Hollins. Often found in the simple print but this with the most bright colouring, all underglaze except for the pink which was not technically possible at the time. Most interesting is an artist's mongram on the front of the tile. It was most unusual for any manufacturer to allow artist signed patterns and only when the attribution added to the sale value of the item, like Moyr Smith or Walter Crane. Verso very clean apart from a little rust stain, embossed Minton Hollins etc, printed design registration number which somwhat unusually due to Minton Hollins sharp grip pattern is legible.   Artist's mongram JB below the lower leaf, most unusual, probably for John Windsor Bradburn. The image not from this tile but from a tile from the same series.
The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on screen is about the size as it would be in real life at the same distance. 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.
