The scene on the strainer

this strainer comes with a hanging wire

but with rather not hang this rare and vulnerable piece

and features six base feet for added stability.

It’s worth noting that brown antique ceramics are quite rare.

This may be due to the fact that

brown was not as popular in the market as blue ceramics.

Most antique ceramics were underglazed in blue,

which meant they were a finished product.

However, the brown colouring on this strainer

is still striking and adds to its unique character.

WHO ARE THE MINTON CERAMICS COMPANY?

The Minton company

is a historic English ceramics company

that was established in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

in 1793 by Thomas Minton.

The company became known

for producing high-quality and innovative ceramics,

particularly in the areas of bone china,

parian ware, majolica, and transferware.

Minton quickly gained a reputation

for their outstanding craftsmanship and artistic designs,

which led to numerous awards and accolades.

They were also known for their collaborations

with famous artists and designers,

including Christopher Dresser and Augustus Welby Pugin.

Over the years,

Minton has changed ownership

and merged with other companies.

Today, the brand is owned by

the Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton group,

and the Minton name is still associated

with high-quality ceramics,

particularly in the areas of tableware and giftware.

SWISS GENEVESE PATTERN BY THE MINTON COMPANY

The Swiss Genevese pattern

is a unique and highly sought-after design

produced by the Minton company in the mid-19th century.

The pattern is characterised by its intricate depiction

of traditional Swiss buildings and countryside scenes,

which are rendered in beautiful sepia tones.

The Swiss Genevese pattern

was likely inspired by the growing popularity

of European travel during the Victorian era,

as well as the trend for chinoiserie and other exotic designs.

Minton was known for their innovative designs,

and the Swiss Genevese pattern

was a perfect example of their creativity and skill.

The sepia tones used in the Swiss Genevese pattern

are especially striking.

Unlike the more common blue and white underglazes

used in antique ceramics,

the brown sepia colouring

used in the Swiss Genevese pattern

creates a warm and inviting feel.

The brown color was achieved

through the use of finely powdered cobalt oxide,

which was mixed with oil

and painted or transfer-printed directly

onto the unglazed porcelain.

Today, collectors of antique ceramics

and Minton enthusiasts alike

value the Swiss Genevese pattern

for its unique beauty and historical significance.

Minton produced a variety of pieces in this pattern,

including plates, cups and saucers,

and other tableware items.
