Four minute chips to the rim. Style: Gothic floral A super Pugin design, featured several times
in the Mintons catalogue and seen from time to
time and in some super colours but this
colourway is outstanding. Turquoise clay body,
very uncommon and a rarity from Mintons, printed
in cornflower blue with 'gold' banding. The
cornflower blue is textured, dappled, in the
most appealling manner, finsihed with a most
brilliant glaze it is a most brilliant tile. Verso perfectly clean, embossed "Works, Stoke
on Trent" the Mintons China having been scraped
off. Barnard, Bishop & Barnards used Mintons
tiles and had some exclusive patterns made for
them by Mintons on unmarked blanks. They also
always specified half inch thick biscuit and
often used coloured clays so this was likely
made for BBB.
