Biography
Tile manufacturers, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Factory founded by Thomas Minton in 1793/6. His son, Herbert Minton, started making tiles in the 1830s. In 1845 the tile department became a separate concern under Michael Daintry Hollins (who had became Herbert Minton's partner in that year), but in partnership with the china business, trading as Minton & Co. The tile business also traded as Minton & Co for encaustic or inlaid tiles and as Minton Hollins & Co for wall tiles, but they were all made in the same factory. In 1868 the partnership ended; Hollins built a new tile factory in 1869, and continued to trade both as Minton & Co and as Minton Hollins & Co. The firm was absorbed into H & R Johnson-Richards in 1962." - https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG75058, 27.11.2021
