About the Item

This Minton Hollins antique tin glaze portrait tile depicting a nobleman from possibly the English civil war. This could make the subject Oliver Cromwell or King Charles II. Dating back to the late 19th century, this tile is molded in relief, depicting a figure in front of a cathedral or church in a circular frame. There is an exceptional level of detail captured in the mould; from the curling hair to the intricate building details in the background. On the reverse, in addition to regular markings found on Minton Hollins tiles of the era, symbols and letters are placed in different orientations between the branding. Minton Hollins 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.
