Tile with acanthus leaf design c. 1880

This tile, created by Maw & Company, Ltd. around 1880, features an intricate acanthus leaf design in a deep green glaze. The design is a classic example of the revival of decorative arts from earlier periods, particularly the Rococo style. The tile's simple yet elegant design, with its flowing lines and ornate details, would have been popular for use in both domestic and commercial settings, adding a touch of sophistication and refinement. The tile is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
