Condition: Good Chips at or near each corner, surface is
perfect, visible marks are glazing flaws, perfectly
clean and brilliantly glazed. Style/technique: Aesthetic floral
print A nice victorian aesthetic fruit tile printed
in black on off-white. A full depiction of
gooseberries within three stylised borders each
with corner motifs, this to my recollection is
the only transfer printed tile featuring
gooseberries. One of a series designed by
John
Windsor Bradburn for Minton, Hollins and
with his distinctive style. Not a formal series
as such although several were registered on the
same day however they do have a sense of unity
about them and would make a great collection or
fitting. I can well imagne them in an aesthetic
styled washstand or sideboard. Artist's mongram JB at the bottom of the
circle. Verso very clean, embossed Minton Hollins
etc, printed design registration lozenge which
somewhat unusually due to Minton Hollins sharp
grip pattern is with a little effort is
legible.
