Moulded relief tile featuring a bird perched on orange blossom branches design. The tile has a red coloured glaze ground with further coloured glazes over the raised areas of the design; brown for the bird and branches, cream for the blossom, orange for the fruit and green for the leaves. The reverse of the tile features a raised inscription, 'MINTON, HOLLINS & Co. STOKE-ON-TRENT', and impressions left by the moulding process.
This style of tile was used as a border on the walls of an early Sainsbury's showpiece branch at 292/4 High Road, Brondesbury and is part of a horizontal two tile pattern.
