Item Description

A highly decorative antique 6-inch dust-pressed porcelain tile by Minton & Co. (stamped), glazed and hand painted with a roundel depicting a leopard pouncing on a deer in vibrant blue and ochre yellow tones across a white backdrop.

Ex. British collection, this unusual design is unlike anything we have seen from Minton before, making it a rare find and an excellent collector’s piece.

MINTON & CO

To this day, Minton & Co. are considered one of the major pottery and porcelain manufacturers of British history.

Established in 1793, the company was founded by Thomas Minton (1765 – 1836) in Stoke-on-Trent. Until 1845, the pottery manufacturers traded under various styles before adopting the ‘Minton’ name.

When Thomas Minton died, the business passed to his son, Herbert (1793 – 1858) who expanded business by entering into partnership with Michael Hollins. The ‘Minton & Co.’ name was dedicated to encaustic and inlaid tiles while the ‘Minton, Hollins & Co.’ partnership was for printed, painted or majolica wall tiles.

Minton exhibited at trade exhibitions across the globe, establishing a firm reputation for excellence in pottery and earthenware.
