Folio Friday is an opportunity for us to share some of the amazing artwork found within The Minton Archive’s folios with you. On the first Friday of every month we pick out a special piece of artwork from the Minton company catalogue’s Art & Design section and highlight it here on the blog; for the last few months this long-running series has also included some extra Frivolity along the way…
SD 1705/MS1898
No class letter. Folio number 13. Legend on original cover – “Vases & Decorated Pieces – Studio”: cravings, paintings, mounted transfer-tracings, details, etc; some coloured; Kensington stamp on many; 101 items
As is now customary for a 2021 Folio Friday we have some bonus Folio Frivolity content to share as well – down below you’ll find a gallery of the latest batch of tweeted details originally published to our @MintonArchive Twitter account over the last two weeks. We’ve also directly embedded a special tweet at the bottom of this post so be sure to check that out as well 🙂 (Oh, and for anyone thinking “Folio Frivoli-what?”, here’s all the info you need!)
Here’s something a little different for today’s Folio Frivolity as we bring you the full set of images for an “Aesthetic Tiles Set” at SD 1705/MS1811. There’s wonder, surprise, quarrelling, tears, regret – this tile series is a real rollercoaster! pic.twitter.com/qxrvN6X34N
