Victorian Art Nouveau Minton Pictorial Majolica Large Tile Framed Circa 1890
An Antique Victorian Large Framed Majolica Pictorial Tile, dating from the second half of the 19th century. The tile depicts a classical figure of a woman with a wine jug, probably Hebe, The Goddess of Youth. The olive green tile is encased in a deep ornate gilded frame. There is a possibility that it is Wedgwood as they also made similar classically themed tiles.
The whole thing measures approximately 18 1/2 inch x 12 inch. The frame has been touched up in the past and has little bits of loss and damage. The tile shows some crackling to the glaze and a little bit of damage in the bottom corner, which I have shown in a close up in my final photograph. For a better idea of the condition please study my photographs.
