1 of 2 Repro Minton Birds Faux Relief Majolica Tile

This is one of a pair of reproduction Victorian sculpted molded bird tiles in a rich majolica we'd describe as a cinnabar color. The original antique tiles were made by Minton China, one of the premier English tile producers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These Victorian tiles are also suitable for Arts & Crafts, Craftsman, Bungalow, and other styles of decorating. Note that, although the reproduction tiles look as 3-dimensional as the original, they are printed in a trompe l'oeil ("fool the eye") style that captures all of the carved detail of the originals on a flat, smooth tile.
