Minton was founded in 1793 by copperplate engraver Thomas Minton. At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, the brand was praised as "the most beautiful bone china in the world" and became a supplier to the British Royal Family. In particular, "Haddon Hall," designed with the motif of the tapestries of Haddon Hall Castle, became a bestseller. It was later absorbed by Royal Doulton in 1968, and came under the umbrella of Wedgwood in 2005. The brand has now been discontinued, so existing items are considered extremely valuable.
This Dynasty series is considered the pinnacle of Minton's "Dynasty" collection, and there are not many pieces that are decorated with pure gold to this extent. Using the same techniques as those used in the Victorian era, the gorgeous flowers precisely painted with gold leaf are an exquisite masterpiece that brings together the outstanding skills of Minton's craftsmen. Its dazzling appearance evokes the power and splendor of the dynasty, making it a worthy masterpiece.
