Lot Essay

Henry Hollins was a pâte-sur-pâte decorator trained by Louis Solon, recorded at the manufactory in the 1870s and early 1880s. See J. Jones, Minton, the First Two Hundred years of Design & Production, Shrewsbury, 1993, p. 214 for a similar centerpiece from a dessert service shown in the Paris Exhibition of 1889.
