Victorian Majolica Centrepiece by Minton Mermaid Design 1313

On offer is a genuine Victorian majolica centrepiece by Minton, dating to the second half of the 19th century. This substantial figural piece features two entwined mermaids emerging from stylised waves and reeds, supporting a wide dish above. It is modelled in heavy earthenware and finished in rich turquoise, green, ochre, and cream lead glazes typical of Minton’s majolica production. The underside bears the impressed MINTON factory mark along with the pattern number 1313 and impressed date letter, consistent with authentic Victorian Minton manufacture. Minton was the leading English producer of majolica during the mid to late 19th century, renowned for high-quality modelling, bold glazing, and sculptural centrepieces such as this example. The modelling is crisp throughout, with well-defined facial features, flowing hair, and finely detailed wave and foliate elements. The colour palette and glaze quality are characteristic of Minton’s best period of majolica production. The piece stands approximately 12 inches tall and displays well as a decorative centrepiece or collector’s example of Victorian English ceramics.
