Minton Bone China - Founded 1793 Stafforshire, England by Thomas Minton. This company became one of the most prestigious names in bone china history. Why?

Thomas Minton was a Caughley (see Coalport) engraver attributed with the creation of the Broseley Blue Dragon and Willow patterns for Josiah Spode that are still in use today.

A talented and visionary individual, his company became so successful it went on to become Spode's nearest rival. Minton bone china is an essential part if any antique china collection. For me, Minton is a product of a perfectionist mind-set.
