Small in scale and strong in point of view, this antique Minton tile features a beautifully detailed blue-and-white Chinoiserie scene of figures beside an architectural pavilion.
Dating to the late 19th century, likely circa 1880s, this antique Minton tile features a beautifully detailed blue-and-white Chinoiserie scene with figures standing beside an architectural pavilion.
The soft ivory ground, intricate transfer decoration, fine overall crazing, and gentle signs of age give the tile the beautifully collected character that cannot be replicated by a new piece.
Originally created as a decorative architectural tile, it is equally charming displayed on a small easel, propped on a bookshelf, layered into a tabletop vignette, or incorporated into a collected wall arrangement.
Sourced in Maine.
