Antique English Picture Tile from the Seasons Series - Spring

Unavailable

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 "Come Gentle Spring", the emblematic tile for the season in the series. 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 very good condition with light edge wear as shown and is finished in a fine, glossy glaze. Please write with any questions you may have.
