In 1876 the Department of State Library was completed and the first Minton tile floor was installed.
From 1902, a range of slip-trailed majolica wares represented Minton's contribution to Art Nouveau.
Today Minton retains its reputation as one of the finest china manufacturers in the world.
I think that the latest Pevsner states that the Minton mosaic floor is a tour de force.
Fine china, including a Minton dessert service used at the memorable banquet, was discovered in a locked cupboard at the castle smothered with spiders' webs.
