Rare & Quite Early A. W. N. Pugin Designed Minton Tile

VERY RARE & QUITE EARLY A. PUGIN DESIGNED MINTON TILE. THIS IS A LOVELY QUITE RARE ENCAUSTIC TILE MADE AT THE MINTON & Co FACTORY IN THE EARLY PART OF THE COMPANY’S OUT PUT (PROBABLY 1850’s/60’s – SEE CRISPNESS OF DESIGN AND THAT OF THE REVERSE LETTERING) AND WAS DESIGNED BY AGUSTUS WELBY NORTHMORE PUGIN. IT IS DEPICTED IN A TWO COLOUR (YELLOW OCHRE AND BLACK) ENCAUSTIC GLAZE WITH A STYLISED FLORAL DESIGN INSIDE A ROUNDEL IN THE GOTHIC TASTE. ONE THING SHOULD BE MENTIONED IS ITS THICKNESS (A LITTLE OVER 1 [2.5cm]) WHICH I WOULD GUESS INDICATES IT IS A FLOOR TILE RATHER THAN A WALL VARIETY. THE REVERSE HAS THE MENTIONED’MINTON & Co PATENT STOKE ON TRENT’ MARK AND’17’ – SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS. IT MEASURES 6 (15.25cm) Sq. APPROX; AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR A TILE OF ITS TYPE AND AGE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A GLAZE DEEP SLIVER CHIP TO ITS BASE EDGE APART FROM THIS IT LOOKS TO BE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE – AGAIN SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS. THIS IS A LOVELY RARE EARLY MINTON TILE FROM AN ICONIC 19th. CENTURY DESIGNER MADE AT ONE OF THE GREAT BRITISH FACTORIES THAT’S IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND WITH A LOW START PRICE SHOULD GET CONSIDERABLE INTEREST FROM ALL COLLECTORS.
