Where was Minton made?

Minton wares were made in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, the heart of the English ceramics industry. The business began in the area in the late 1700s and grew into a large manufacturer through the 1800s. Stoke-on-Trent’s local clay supply, skilled painters, modelers, kiln workers, and nearby canals and rail links helped firms like Minton scale up fast. If a listing claims “Minton” but gives a different manufacturing location, look harder at the base mark, decoration quality, and the item photos. Many true pieces mention the name “Minton” or “Mintons” in the factory mark, since the company traded under forms of that name across its history.
