Mintons was a major pottery company at the Staffordshire Potteries which was  founded by Thomas Minton (1765–1836) in 1793. It became highly popular during the Victorian era and remained and independent business until 1968. Mintons produced various ceramic designs in Historicist styles using different decorative techniques. Apart from vessels and sculptures the firm also manufactured tiles and other architectural ceramics for both the Houses of Parliament in London and United States Capitol.
