• Style/technique: Art nouveau majolica • Manufacturer: Mintons Ltd • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1901	A rare Minton secessionist art nouveau tile with a symmetrical floral design resembling an erect tail of a peacock. Glazed in turquoise, teal and mustard glazes on a very durable buff clay body which tempers the colours. From the pattern number the date of introduction of the design can be deduced to 1901, the era of Léon Solon and John Wadsworth and coinciding with the introduction of their acclaimed secessionist range of tubelined pottery. To my eye this design has more the stamp of Solon than Wadsworth.
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.
