Antique English Picture Tile from the Seasons Series - Spring

$195.00
Quantity available: 1
From the series of twelve images created by John Moyr Smith for Mintons China Works illustrating scenes from the books of poetry by Thomson, entitled "The Seasons" first published in 1730, here is "Spring Ploughing". This series by Mintons is particularly sought after and, as Lockett describes it, was "clearly a prestige product" when it was made. The tile is polychrome and printed in five colors. It is in good condition with light edge wear at bottom, a lower left corner nick, an upper edge nick toward right in the border, and a light fracture midway down the tile beginning at right edge and traveling toward center as shown. The tile is finished in a fine, glossy glaze. Please write with any questions you may have.
