About this piece
back to topA set of 4 antique dust-pressed ceramic tiles by Minton Hollins (stamped) creating a decorative blue and white glazed frieze panel depicting a pair of neoclassical style winged cherubs playing the triangle.
Once part of a larger design, this is just one of various sections of frieze panel we have for sale. While the overall pattern is incomplete, the sets style beautifully as separate panels, some of which do work seamlessly together.
Supplied loose, these antique tiles could be mounted in a bespoke display as interior or wall decoration. Alternatively, they make excellent collector’s pieces for those with an eye for English heritage ceramics!
Minton Hollins
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.
