The origins of the firm lie with Thomas Minton (1765-1836), who established his pottery factory in Stoke-upon-Trent in 1793, producing earthenware. In 1796 Minton formed a partnership with Joseph Poulson, who manufactured bone china. When Poulson died in 1808, Minton continued the business alone, producing works of both earthenware and china. The Minton factory in the center of Stoke was rebuilt and modernized after the Second World War by the then managing director, J. E. Hartill, a great-great-great grandson of Thomas Minton. But the firm shared in the overall decline of the Staffordshire pottery industry in the post-war period. The tableware division was always the mainstay of Minton's fortunes and the post-1950 rationalization of the British pottery industry took Minton’s into a merger with Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd.
