About the Item

This octagonal soup tureen, under dish and ladle are decorated with Minton's "Chinese Marine" blue and white transfer print. The decoration is extensive on the outside, and also appears on the inside of the tureen and the bowl of the ladle. The crisply moulded knop on the lid is represented as a basket of fruit, and the tureen rests on four lions paw feet. The tureen measures 363 mm (14.5 inches) in width, 252 mm (10 inches) in depth and stands 240 mm (9.5 inches) high, while the under dish is 435 mm (17.25 inches) wide, 317 mm (12.5 inches) deep and stands 32 mm (1.25 inches) high. The overall length of the ladle is 306 mm (12 inches) with the bowl measuring 100 mm (4 inches) in diameter and 46 mm (1.75 inches) deep. There was a chip to the edge of the under dish which measured 20 mm (.75 inch) by 12 mm (.5 inch) approximately, but has now been professionally repaired as shown in the photos. There is also some discolouration to parts of the interior of the tureen, but overall it is in very good condition with the presence of the ladle a bonus as they usually go missing. It dates from the period 1825-30.

Minton

Pottery is one of the oldest decorative art forms, and Minton is one of its historical masters. For more than 250 years, the English company was a premier producer of porcelain and ceramic wares. Its factory was known for detailed and brightly colored Victorian tableware, including dinner plates and serving pieces.

Thomas Minton founded the Minton factory in 1793 in Stoke-upon-Trent, England. It initially made earthenware but introduced bone china in 1798. When Minton died in 1836, the company passed to his son, Herbert Minton. The younger Minton was a savvy businessman with an eye for design. He introduced glossy majolica earthenware to the factory’s repertoire and hired skilled artists and designers like Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, boosting the company’s reputation.

In 1851, Minton debuted its majolica at the Great Exhibition in London. It became a royal family favorite and was even used to tile the Royal Dairy at Windsor Home Park. Minton majolica was also displayed on the monumental Saint George and the dragon fountain at the 1862 London International Exhibition.

Colin Minton Campbell, a nephew of Herbert Minton, took over the family business in 1858. He led the company to the head of the 1870s English art pottery movement. In the 1890s, French porcelain artist Marc-Louis Solon helped modernize Minton with his Art Nouveau designs.

Minton ceased operating as an independent company when it merged with Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd. in 1968. It was the end of an era, but not the end of widespread appreciation for Minton ceramics.

In 1982, the ”English Majolica” exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum featured 75 Minton pieces. When the Metropolitan Museum of Art reopened its British Galleries in 2020, it included a display of three colorful Minton majolica bird sculptures. Minton pottery was also on display from September 2021 to January 2022, along with other English pottery, at the Bard Graduate Center’s ”Majolica Mania” exhibition.
