Item Details

A stunning set of nine 6-inch encaustic patterned tiles by Minton & Co, Stoke-on Trent (stamped).


These antique tiles feature a beautiful design of dark blue flowers on a white 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. 27090 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.
