A particularly fine antique Art Nouveau dust-pressed relief tile by Minton’s China Works, Stoke-on-Trent, England, dating from around the turn of the 20th century. The tile features a beautifully executed naturalistic composition of three pansy flowers with foliage. The flowers are decorated in rich deep violet and blue-grey glazes with small yellow centres, surrounded by olive-green leaves and stems. The softly mottled pale background, with touches of warm brown and green, gives the design an almost painterly quality. The decoration is produced in dust-pressed moulded relief, with the flowers, leaves and stems gently raised from the surface. The reverse is clearly impressed MINTON’S / CHINA WORKS / STOKE ON TRENT / ENGLAND, together with the impressed design or pattern number E2722 and additional hand-painted factory marks. It is in very good antique condition. There is extensive fine age-related crazing to the glaze, which is especially visible in the pale background and forms an attractive characteristic of the aged surface.
