Lot Essay

The pâte-sur-pâte technique, a ceramic invention of the 19th century without precedent, involves building layers of ceramic slip into sculptural relief and fashioning them to produce an effect similar to antique cameos.

Producing 'porcelains, earthenwares, Parian and Majolica', the Staffordshire pottery of Minton was established in 1793. The company added an 'S' to its name in 1873.
