Minton Hollins & Co, of Stoke-on Trent, was set up in 1845 as a subsiduary of Mintons, to take over their encaustic tile production. Due to fall in demand for tiles during the First World War they developed a sideline in art-pottery with striking glaze effects, and the highly acclaimed 'Astra Ware' range was produced from 1918 until at least the late 1920s.
