About this piece
back to topA stunning set of nine 6-inch encaustic floral patterned tiles by Minton & Co, Stoke-on Trent (stamped). We are also selling additional listings of the same tiles.
These antique tiles feature a beautiful design of white flowers on a dark blue backdrop, making an attractive feature of a bathroom or kitchen as an antique backsplash. Alternatively, style together with the similar Minton tiles under stock no. 27099 to create a larger decorative display for wall or floor.
Supplied loose, these 6-inch tiles are reclaimed and as such have a characterful, timeworn look with scuffs and crazing here and there that only enhances the beauty of these striking patterned tiles.
Minton & Co
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.
