Maker: Minton  Pattern: Rustic Figures

There are eight different scenes in the Rustic Figures series, which was introduced about 1846/7 under factory pattern number 57. Early examples are recorded with Prosser’s Patent embossed on the back, although the series was still in production in 1885 and probably later, so dating individual tiles is difficult. The series is often attributed to William Wise, but this is incorrect and the original artist and engraver have not been identified. This tile features a young seated woman with two goats. No backstamp.
It has a little minor damage to the rim but overall is excellent.

Dimensions: 15.5 cm across / 6 ins across
