The Dictionary of Minton is the first complete history of the famous Minton company, its wares, artists and decorators, and is destined to become the standard work of reference for collectors and dealers. The authors Paul J. Atterbury and Maureen Batkin chart the triumphs, the solid achievements, the successes and failures of this outstanding company which employed some of the most famous names in 19th century ceramics history. Comprehensive histories include the two French giants, Arnoux and Solon, who rose to heights of international eminence unknown by any other ceramics manufacturer since Josiah Wedgwood. Extensive research into the Minton Archives has provided fascinating insights into the personalities concerned with the running of the Minton business. The considerable biographical material has been used in the section devoted to the artists and their work; a separate section covers the vast range of wares made at Minton over 190 years of production with many full color photographs.
