About this piece
back to topA set of four 19th Century Mintons tile attributed to the artist Edward Hammond.
Modelled in relief, each 8-inch tile is decorated with a different musician in medieval dress picked out in turquoise and dark navy blue majolica glaze.
Dating to circa 1875, these striking tiles have been in use for over 150 years and as such have a characterful, timeworn look.
The perfect decorative set for modern and period properties looking to add vibrancy and charm.
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.
