Corners filed for the original fitting and very
slight roughness to the tip of the rim, surface is
perfect.
Style/technique: Animal landscape
print A rare tile from a rare series indeed I'm not
sure what series. For sure predating the well
known Animals of the Farm engraved by Wise and
engraved by another hand. I can recall seeing
just four or five apparently from the same
series all representing farm animals the designs
being essentially circular I surmise originally
made for tableware and probably dating from the
1860s. This tile made by the china works after
the split of the companies in 1868 with a fully
glazed verso for use in flowerboxes, jardinieres
etc. Verso perfectly clean, glazed, embossed
Mintons etc and badge.
