A most unusual and rare design, surprisingly rare for the design caters to many tastes the border being both rococo and arabesque and with a pleasing floral centrepiece, printed in a pleasing chocolate brown.

It really does appear that Mintons made the wrong choices in which designs to register, I collect registered designs and few of Mintons are found yet other none-registered designs of the company's were popular. Perhaps rare because there is a design flaw, not in the design itself but in the manner in which it works with the medium. At the middle of the edges the pattern reaches too close to the edge and the print fails to take hold, perhaps not too obvious on a single tile but in larger areas as the design was intended for not a welcome flaw.

Verso perfectly clean embossed Mintons etc, printed pattern and design registration number, some clay loss from water-based adhesive.
