Description
Three original antique ceramic tiles made by Minton Hollins and co in the 1870s probably. Rare hand painted designs featuring a calling bird on two of them and a pair of birds in flight on the other, in a vaguely Oriental style. The border is the same on all of them and I've seen others online with the same border but with different designs, albeit similar in style, so this must have been a range Minton did, using mass produced transfer glazed borders with artists painting the central pictures, perhaps using templates. There's no date stamp but, going by the others online I'd estimate they're from the 1870s. Price is for all three: if you want just one, please ask.

condition
Condition is fair: there's not much in the way of chips or dings, just a few small things, but the glaze has started to wear away in quite a few places, especially on the central images.
