One small, one tiny rim chips, a few losses to
the rim, minor surface marks. Style: Gothic A super design no doubt by Pugin, bold, full
on gothic, early and a rare colour. Made in the
1850s shortly after Prosser's Patent expired in
1854. The colour is close to the popular chocolate
brown but a little darker, so dark chocolate. It
is printed overglaze which suggests that it was
technically not possible to put it underglaze so
to achieve the required colour required a third
lower 'enamel temperature' firing. The only one we got, it's a rare tile, we do
find a few rarities because we keep looking! Verso perfectly clean, embossed Minton,
Hollins & Co., Stoke on Trent.
