Minton ceramics are a hallmark of British decorative arts, founded in 1793 by Thomas Minton in Stoke-on-Trent and renowned for technical innovation and stylistic versatility. The firm achieved international acclaim in the 19th century for developments such as encaustic tiles, richly colored majolica, and refined bone china, often drawing on Gothic Revival, classical, and naturalistic motifs. Favored by royalty and widely exhibited at world’s fairs, Minton’s wares combined industrial precision with high artistic ambition, making the name synonymous with Victorian luxury, architectural ornament, and imaginative ceramic design.
