These were rescued from a skip !!
There are eight tiles in I think - Rosette pattern - they are 6"square x 12mm thick and made by Mintons , China Works, Stoke on Trent.
They also have the Minton stamp in the bottom corner which has WALBROOK LONDON beneath it ..also written - N° 2 381 (probably a pattern no.).
These I think are Victorian tiles ..
Hope you like them :-)

Great name for them -- after all they are Minton!!
They are so fine, magnificent!
Thanks sean for your love & comments , yes Mintons were one of the main tile works in england & merged with Doulton in the third part of the 1900s , some of their tiles fetch quite a few pounds each ..

28 Walbrook was their address in London, probably a store?
I’m not sure if all the Minton(s) are the same company, but I know that one of the sons partnered with Holbrook to form a separate tile company in 1845, so then I’m guessing that your tiles predate that?
