Testo inglese.

This volume is the first complete history of the famous Minton company, its wares, artists and decorators, and is destinated to become the standard work of reference for collectors and dealers. The authors chart the triumph, the solid achievements, the successes and failures of this outstanding company which employed some of the most famous names in nineteenth century ceramics history, including the two French giants, Arnoux and Solon, and rose to heights of international eminence unknown by any other ceramics manufacturer since Wedgwood.

The fortunes of the illustrious firm of Minton, founded in the late eighteenth century, were inextricably linked with the characters and qualities of three men: Thomas Minton, the founder, his son Herbert, and Colin Minton Campbell. From modest beginnings as a pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, Minton became one of the world's leading ceramics companies. With the introduction of bone china c. 1800, the company prospered, and under the leadership of Herbert Minton, with his innovatory ideas and successful experiments in tile and Parian production, its future was assured. Herbert Minton exemplified all the best virtues of Victorian paternalism and philanthropy. (E2)
