A couple of minute rim chips and a little wear
to the tip of the edges in places. Surface has a
few very light scratches only seen when held just
so to catch in the light, tiny light mark on the

dirty, very tiny chip on the leaf just right of
central flower, Style/technique: Gothic print A great and rare tile, a gothic inspired
design with a pair of mythical beasts most
unusually representing wolves. Floral elements
in the gothic style the flowers at the top
likely representing teasel a curious looking
plant that has captured the imagination of
artists throughout the ages. Printed in
chocolate brown and on an oatmeal body, a super
combination giving a real arts and crafts feel
to the tile. Pattern number 1667 in the Minton
Hollins catalogue. Versos perfectly clean, fully marked as
usual. Condition: Very fine Two very tiny glaze flakes top left corner,
edges slightly rough/uneven in manufacture which is
partly due to the clay type and perhaps partly
intended for the arts & crafts feel. Glaze flaw
bottom left and a clay blow on the right teasel, a
couple of very light scratches. Condition: Very fine Slight wear at top corners, edges slightly
rough/uneven in manufacture which is partly due to
the clay type and perhaps partly intended for the
arts & crafts feel. Perfect surface but a glaze
flaw bottom left and a quite amazing clay blow on
the right teasel. Condition: Near perfect Top corners have been ever so slightly filed
down for the original dry fixing, no other damage.
Edges slightly uneven in manufacture which is
partly due to the clay type and perhaps partly
intended for the arts & crafts feel. Perfect
surface.
