antique blue & white Minton pottery tile, old English Staffordshire china

Nice old Minton tile in a beautiful greenish blue (tile blue) pattern on off white. We believe this dates to the late 1880s, judging from the back stamp.

It measures about 6" x 6" overall, and is showing its age with chipping to the edges, glaze crazing and discoloration / browning. It's a beautiful piece just as it is, to hang or use as a trivet.
