Tile Minton, 1880 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Made circa 1880 by Minton, this earthenware tile was stenciled with a design before being glazed and fired. The stenciled pattern depicts four scenes: a sunrise, a balloon, a toad and a rooster.
It was made at Minton’s Stoke-on-Trent, England, Factory and was part of a large set of tiles depicting similarly bucolic scenes predominantly in browns and blues.
