For Minton’s Art Pottery (where her brother W.S.Coleman was Director), she painted ceramic plaques with portraits of ladies with exuberant hair very similar to this. After the London studio closed in 1875, twenty-five of her drawings were used at Minton China Works in Stoke on Trent, where raised paste gilding was particularly used on expensive dinner wares. The Minton Art Pottery was at Kensington Gore, close to the Albert Hall, from 1871-75. It employed students from the National Art Training Schools, many of them women, to paint china and majolica They worked alongside skilled artists and drew on diverse sources, including Japanese and Islamic styles and the work of French contemporary potters such as Théodore Deck. The use of plaques and flat panels led to a revival of interest in pictorial tiles. This is one of two similar flasks in the collection, they are maybe a pair or part of a series. reference term-97680 adlib-term-97680 d0493beb-d54a-30ea-970d-e525d2e9403e Victoria reference term-110455 adlib-term-110455 5e7df88f-a1c2-39c8-a341-807aa544c9d0 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Stoke-on-Trent reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London reference term-37633 adlib-term-37633 43c6b916-951a-36c6-a4a7-7342c900a6d7 bone china Depth cm 8.3 Height cm 14.4 Width cm 14.6 reference term-107609 adlib-term-107609 71b65ef8-c0fb-319e-925f-37526bfc6764 flask history note Lent by Rita Smythe 1 shape and decoration reference object-226471 adlib-object-226471 55e8e4c9-e43d-3372-bba3-726e43af194a
