King Log and Kind Stork Tile, 1875

 Item — Box: CFC Tiles Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0357.8
Abstract

These blue tiles surprised me when I first discovered them. I did not know that Minton did blue as well as brown tiles. They are apparently exactly the same in design. Are the patterns here as crisp and clear as on the brown tiles? The titles are read in curious fashion, starting from eleven o'clock and reading toward three o'clock, and then restarting from eight and reading toward four. Do the twelve make up a complete set?
