Item Description

An antique Minton & Co encaustic tile of a left hand pointing.

This charming tile is decorated with a Victorian style white pointing finger over a sleek black finish.

Dating to circa 1880, this tile would make a unique decorative piece in modern and traditional properties alike. Perhaps directing guests to certain rooms or entranceways.

A makers mark for Minton & Co can be seen on the reverse side.

MINTON & CO

Thomas Minton opened the first Minton & Co factory in the 1790s, becoming one of the most popular pottery and porcelain manufacturers of the 19th century.

Based in Stoke-On-Trent, Minton was at the centre of British pottery, specialising in earthenware, bone china and Parian porcelain.

In 1845, Thomas Minton’s son, Herbert, partnered with Michael Daintry Hollins to establish the tile-making arm of the business. Today, Minton and Hollins tiles are highly sought after thanks to their beautiful patterns and unique history.

CONDITION REPORT

Good structural condition. Minor chips and surface wear. There is some light crazing. See makers mark in fourth picture.
