Minton was founded in 1793 by copperplate engraver Thomas Minton. At the 1851 London Great Exhibition, it was praised as "the most beautiful bone china in the world" and became a brand used by 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.
The Marlowe series was a long-selling product from 1959 to 1997, and features early summer flowers in England. It is a beautiful piece with colors that give off a strong vibe that is unique to early summer flowers, unlike the delicate atmosphere of spring flowers. The wavy fife shape of the smoothly applied surface also gives it an elegant feel.
