Since it was established in Stoke-on-Trent in 1793, Minton’s design and production work has been characterised by a bold mix of innovation and tradition, artistic design and new technology, Englishness and cosmopolitanism. It was an inspiration that made the company Europe’s leading ceramic manufacturer during Victorian times – and an enduring classic brand for ornaments and tableware.

The business took its name from founder Thomas Minton, a master engraver and designer who initially focused on underglaze blue printed earthenwares, introducing bone china around 1799. After his death in 1836 he was succeeded by his son Herbert – a man who inherited the same belief in artistic talent, which, combined with his own interest in new technology and historic design, began to quite literally shape the future success of Minton.

The latest Minton designs are fresh and vital, based on natural organic inspired shapes, with the Minton Archives invaluable in the development of new concepts. Moreover, traditional skills have proved of lasting value, such as copper-plate engraving, acid gilding, and free-hand painting.

With Minton, artistic creativity is effectively coupled with commercial acumen – so it remains a key English brand in tableware, ornaments, and figures across the globe. After all, as Herbert Minton said in 1851, “Let not then past success satisfy us for the future, but rather let it act as a stimulus”.
