Maurice Robertson asked:


In 1793, Thomas Minton, now a master potter having just finished his apprenticeship with Josiah Spode as a copper plate engraver, opened his small Staffordshire pottery at Stoke-on Trent, the very heart of the English ceramic industry.  This small beginning was to grow into a major ceramic manufacturing company with an international reputation.

 

Everyone knows of the famous “Willow” pattern, but did you know that Thomas Minton is regarded as the one who first engraved this well known print!  Minton is said to have been inspired on hearing the old Chinese legend of the rich Mandarin’s young daughter eloping with his secretary.  As the pattern shows, the young lovers are pursued by the enraged father, however, the goddess of mercy, seeing the drama, turns the fleeing couple into swallows who fly away together.

 

Thomas Minton’s son, Herbert, (1793–1858), succeeded his father as head of the firm and to him was due its development and reputation as a leader of porcelain production.

In the 1820’s he started production of bone china.  This early Minton is regarded as comparable to French Sèvres, by which it was greatly influenced. 

 

Our Minton lamps shown were made in 1863 and are typical of the very high standards reached by this time.

 





An extremely rare pair of 19th century, English Minton vases as table

lamps. The lamps imitating the design of oriental water jars.

The lamps glazed in an even pale celadon with moulded and applied white porcelain “rope”. The necks of the lamps with a continuous band of open cut-work in the style of traditional Chinese window screens,

the lamp necks designed to allow the celadon glazed porcelain

to be viewed through the screens!

The lamps skilfully modelled to appear as if tied in white knotted rope.

The bases of the lamps with a continuous band of scrolling cut-work,

with evenly spaced round headed pegs as ties for the rope.

The lamps with gilded, turned, solid bronze bases and caps.

 

This stunning pair of lamps, the quality of which is self evident,

are in remarkable condition considering the complexity of the design.

 

In private correspondence with the UK Wedgwood/Minton museum, this

pair of lamps were described as “highly important”.

 

The shape was exhibited by Minton at the 1862 London International Exhibition where they were described as “a pair of vases, glazed celadon ground, rope festoons in white, perforated neck and perforated foot”.

The vase shape was registered in 1863 as “in the Chinese style”.

Overall height (including shades)   25\”/63cm

Plumbing Tips For Homeowners

Maurice Robertson asked:


Bright overhead halogen light is fine, in an office, car park or airport but definitely not in that favourite room! 

You may have noticed that everything looks better by lamp light, including people!  It was Oscar Wild, that intrepid observer of life (and flatterer) who said, ”Every woman is beautiful by candle light”.

The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co offer a range of quality antique and vintage lamps to provide that soft, discreet room lighting with each lamp, a decorative and functional element.  From an interior design perspective, lamps will and can instantly remodel a room by adding atmosphere, depth and texture to an interior.   

Our homes are expressions of ourselves and we need atmosphere in which we feel most comfortable and at-home.  Table lamp lighting is all about atmosphere and mood, where lighting is subtle, with lamps positioned for reading, watching T.V, soft light for that pleasant dinner party, or, just to relax and recharge.



The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co is a boutique company which has a very specific focus on presenting one of-a kind table lamps, each one is unique and can never (unlike mass produced lamps) be found at a friends home and, of course, makes our home unique.  

Interior lighting, being such an important element of our lives, can be seen as the foundation of an interior with a multiple of benefits on offer. High end table lamps fulfill not only the need for lighting, but serve as an artistic expression and lamps, with their ability to “come to life” with light, perfectly fulfill this need and remember, antique lamps ad value over time, unlike mass production lamps which loose value over time. 



When we have achieved that “look” we have striven for, you may notice, that each time we illuminate the room; there is just that moment of wonder, that emotional response to “seeing the light”.
