This is an exquisite and extremely rare hand-painted and glazed tile with a very unique eagle and floral design, made by Gibbons Hinton & Co around 1900.
It was impossible for me to find another example like this.
It is in very good condition for its age, with chips around the edge and surface marks.
It measures 6" x 6" square.
This tile has a reference number D. 483 on the back.
It comes from the Roger Hensman Tile Collection.
If you want to know more about it, you can contact TACS (Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society), give them the reference number, and they can offer more information about the provenance and maker, together with the date Roger Hensman purchased the tile.

Everything Antique Endeavors sell is aged.
To have no flaws, imperfections or signs of age such as wear or tiny flea bites on a vintage or antique item is nearly impossible.
If you are looking for something perfect, please look at purchasing something brand new and in its box.
All items will be gently handled and carefully packed, and some things are double-boxed for shipment and shipped with care via Royal Mail for parcels up to 2 kg.
We Will, send the most oversized items via UPS or Hermes.
For the International, we use tracked shipping through Royal Mail, and the largest parcels will have sent through eBay Global Shipping Program.
Since the quality and condition of aged, vintage and antique merchandise are subjective, all items are sold “AS IS”, and sales are final. Most of the things I sell are found at high-end London area estate sales unless otherwise noted, so I cannot vouch for their provenance or history. Where I can, the origin of the items will be stated.
I research and price each item to the best of my ability and have some pieces appraised, but I am not an expert in grading antique or vintage items.
Would you please research before purchasing and look over high-definition pictures thoroughly?
If there are chips or cracks that I've been able to find in an item, I will point them out in pictures. Pictures ARE the most important part of the description.
Please check Antique Endeavors listings for other great finds; I will combine shipping where possible.
I am an environmentally friendly citizen; I will reuse some boxes, bubble wrap and paper when possible.
If you purchase from me, you can rest assured that your money is being invested back into your fellow citizens and not big corporations.
I put a significant amount of time into researching and pricing items accordingly and to the best of my ability, but I do not claim to be an expert on anything I have listed.
Again, please research before purchasing an item you are unsure of. I will provide more pictures upon request and answer any of your questions to the best of my ability.
Please leave positive feedback if you are pleased with your purchase and communication with me.
It helps to grow my business. I leave feedback for everyone.
