I looked at a few tiles and a cup, all designed by A.W.N Pugin around the 1850's and printed by Minton & Co. The tiles were made from dust clay, which created the smooth surface for printing. However due to limitations some colors were hard to add by printing, so they were added by hand.Printed tiles from medieval times have been found with only two colors, buff and red. However the designer Pugin wanted more options so Minton developed more colors which included blue, green, brown, and white.

Earthenware

Earthenware is a special type of pottery made from clay that is fired below 1200 degrees C. In the British Museum you can find tons of earthenware, especially in the Europe 1800-1900 galleries. I looked at a few tiles and a cup, all designed by A.W.N Pugin around the 1850's and printed by Minton & Co. The tiles were made from dust clay, which created the smooth surface for printing. However due to limitations some colors were hard to add by printing, so they were added by hand.Printed tiles from medieval times have been found with only two colors, buff and red. However the designer Pugin wanted more options so Minton developed more colors which included blue, green, brown, and white.
