Minton

Thomas Minton founded the Minton factory in 1793 in Stoke-upon-Trent, England. His factory was outstanding in the Victorian period for its art porcelains and was famous for Minton Ware , bone china and Parian porcelain.

Until 1836, the factory's staple products consisted of useful and unpretentious tablewares in painted or printed earthenware or bone china. Figures and ornamental porcelains were made increasingly beginning in the 1820s. Marc-Louis Solon introduced the pâte-sur-pâte technique to Minton, having developed it previously at Sèvres. Using this technique, Solon and his apprentices modeled maidens and tumbling cherubs on vases and plaques with a skill that was unmatched at any other factory.
