Production of porcelain at Minton probably began in 1799, and the irst few hundred pattern numbers were the primary products. This body is still not perfect, with some pitting & ‘orange-skin’ evident. It is very thickly potted, and yet when a very strong light is shone through, it is superbly white, as evident when it could be potted thinner.
Minton began to use a Sevres-like crossed ‘L’s’ with their pattern number around 1805, and ceased production of porcelain completely in 1816.
