Two minute rim chips and a
slight loss, very minor suface marks Style: Classical picture A good tile from a quite rarely found series
of six tiles entitled Venus & Adonis this
being Adonis with horse. Most often found in
just the print various colourways have beeen
seen each perhaps one could call eccentiric,
this with a textured sky rare and making an
excellent backdrop. An early series from Minton
Hollins & Co pattern numbers 341 - 346. On a semi-vitrified buff clay body and
apparently pressed in the press usually used for
enamelled majolica tile so marginally undersize
but thatwas pretty much standard for many
manufacturers. Verso some smoke stain otherwise clean, usual
legend embossed.
