Pink Minton Egg

The design of this English fine bone china egg comes from a unique piece of eggshell porcelain made by the Minton factory. Part of the Royal Collection and dating from the reign of Edward VII, the gilt trellis decoration with pearls of raised white, encloses distinctive gilt fleur-de-lys. During this time it was tradition for royal family members to present one another with decorative 'objets de fantaisie' sometimes in the form of Faberge eggs.

Made entirely by hand by our skilled artisans in Stoke-on-Trent using traditional methods unchanged for over 250 years, using English fine bone china, highly regarded around the world for its whiteness, fineness and delicacy.
