Fabulous Minton Blue and White China Tray – Circa 1880

19th century
Description

A Really Fabulous Minton Blue and White China Tray in the Delft pattern. The shape is an elongated octagon with squared handle-like terminals, giving it a smart, architectural profile.

The decoration is transfer-printed in cobalt blue, with scrolling florals arranged around the well. The gilded edging provides a restrained contrast against the white ground and emphasises the faceted outline. Marked ‘Minton’ for the renowned maker – circa 1880.

* This is the sort of piece that layers beautifully with other blue and white ceramics for a collected look.

Measurements:

Length: 21" (approx. 53cm)

Width: 11 1/2" (approx. 29cm)

Total weight: 1520g

In good condition – The transfer-printed decoration presents well overall, with no obvious losses visible in the images. There are no chips or cracks to the china.

FAQs

Late nineteenth-century Minton porcelain trays often combined traditional underglaze cobalt blue transfer decoration with gilded accents on white fine bone china or refined earthenware, heavily influenced by Japanese and Aesthetic Movement styles.

These trays were typically crafted from fine bone china or earthenware, decorated using cobalt oxide underglaze transfer prints, and finished with fired overglaze gold leaf trim on the rims and handles.

Authentic pieces generally feature impressed or printed Minton factory globe or globe-and-cross marks on the underside, often accompanied by year ciphers, pattern numbers, and fine underglaze printing.

A decorative ceramic tray can be placed on a sideboard, coffee table, or dressing table as a catchall for smaller items, or displayed upright on a plate stand within a dresser cabinet.

Gilded ceramic items should be washed by hand using warm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges or dishwashers which can strip or wear away the delicate gold leaf detailing.
