13Pc Antique White Assembled Soup Plate Set Family Heirloom Jeweled Raised Gilded Border Rim Wedding China Gift for Bride Large Soup Tureen
$1,500.00
11 antique Minton soup plates with a crisp white border featuring gilded branches and berries.
Plates were manufactured for Davis and Collomore from 1892 to 1932.
This company rivaled Tiffany and Co. during this period.
The firm commissioned designs by Spode and Minton that preferred hand-painted details over transfer-printed outlines.
Heavy, rich gilding was also a choice.
These soup plates represent all these elements in their design choices.
Added is a large Limoges soup tureen with a white body, extensive gilt embellishments, and a matching underplate.
HISTORY:
Thomas Minton (1765-1836)
Thomas Minton moved to Stoke, England, in 1793 and opened his newly built factory in 1796--
He went on to become Spode's nearest rival.
The Minton factory was the most popular supply source in the 19th century of dinnerware made to order for embassies and heads of state. The name continues to the present day as part of the Waterford,
Wedgwood and Royal Doulton Group.
In the 1820s, Thomas Minton started producing bone china; this early Minton is regarded as comparable to French Sevres.
