Mintons was a major ceramics manufacturing company, originated with Thomas Minton (1765–1836) the founder of “Thomas Minton and Sons”, who established his pottery factory in Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England, in 1793, producing earthenware. He formed a partnership, Minton & Poulson, c.1796, with Joseph Poulson who made bone china from c.1798 in his new near-by china pottery. When Poulson died in 1808, Minton carried on alone, using Poulson’s pottery for china until 1816. He built a new china pottery in 1824. The products are more often referred to as “Minton”, as in Minton china. Reference: Wikipedia
