Some History = Founded 1793 Staffordshire, England by Thomas Minton. Part of this desire for perfection was to make such quality Minton bone china more affordable for ordinary people, and in this he succeeded. Minton set about popularising his own famous ‘Willow pattern’ engravings and then went on to successfully manufacture majolica, parian, earthenware and as early as 1820, fine Minton bone china. The best known Minton bone china pattern is Haddon Hall. Designed by John Wadsworth. Haddon Hall was designed in 1949. Acid-Etched Gilding = Renowned also for its intricate gold patterns. Minton items can be regarded as unique works of art, many of which are purchased as heirlooms. In 1863 Minton patented an acid etching technique where the outer glaze was scored so as to absorb the gilded detailing. Minton also pioneered the English application of the French skill of pâte-sur-pâte where paste or slip (liquid clay) is painstakingly layered to gradually build stunning artwork. 'Majolica' is yet another pioneering development of Minton's. Minton merged with Royal Doulton in 1968 and effectively became part of the Wedgwood Group when Doulton was taken into the Wedgwood Group in the 2000's. Since then, the Wedgwood Waterford Group went into administration, wrote off a lot of bad-debts and reformed again under the management of some of the same key personnel, within a new company called WWRD Holdings Ltd. The financial input came from KPS Capital, an American investment company.
