Absolutely perfect. Style: Art
nouveau secessionist A most extraordinary tile and simply
wonderful that it is in perfect condition.
Mintons under the influence of
Léón Solon, who became art
director, is perhaps the only company to use
printing and embossed majolica together, this
the only design I have seen printed and
tubelined. Extremely rare, I bought two many
years ago (maybe two decades ago) now and not
seen another until this, I suspect they may have
originated from the same original installation.
Perhaps bespoke, if the main pattern were
stencilled it would be more likely, printing
suggests a few were made. This is the actual tile shown in 20th Century
Decorative Tiles by Chris Blanchett. Verso very clean, embossed Mintons etc and
England.
