About the Item
This small antique Minton & Co encaustic tile displays a collection of intriguing motifs and symbols.
This 19th century 6-inch tile is the perfect decorative piece for those looking to appreciate Victorian design and English history.
The front of this richly coloured antique displays heraldic motifs on a rich terracotta background.
A cockerel sits upon a column to the centre; both of which have heraldic meanings.
The cock is symbolic of the sun and an emblem of vigilance and courage; known as a bird that will fight to the death in battle.
A column symbolises fortitude and constancy. The motif implies that its bearer supports others who are weaker.
Illustrations of a lantern and small sack sit to either side of the tile. The lantern, also known as a pitch pot or hand beacon, is a symbol that represent spiritual illumination; a light used to find ones way in the dark.
The tile displays ropes and whips surrounding the column, but the meaning of this is not clear.
Displayed on a bespoke steel stand, the tile’s intriguing display can be admired up close in its new home.
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.
