1. Title: The Royal Dairy at Frogmore, Windsor: A Victorian Masterpiece of Marble, Glass, and Ceramics 2. Nestled in the serene and picturesque grounds of Frogmore, near Windsor, stands The Royal Dairy, a stunning architectural marvel of the Victorian era. This exquisite building, completed in 1861, was designed by the renowned architect John Thomas of Alpha Road, London, and features a harmonious blend of white marble tables, clear running water, richly-stained glass windows, encaustic tiles, and majolica bas-reliefs. 3. The interior of the dairy is an enchanting sight to behold. White marble tables, cooled by clear running water from a nearby stream, provide an ideal setting for the preparation and storage of the royal family's dairy produce. Ten windows of richly-stained glass bathe the room in soft, natural light, while the walls are adorned with encaustic tiles of a delicate colour and pattern. 4. Between the windows and recesses, fourteen majolica bas-reliefs depict the Four Seasons and various agricultural subjects. These intricately designed pieces were manufactured expressly for this work by the esteemed ceramics company, Minton. The harmonious marriage of these elements creates a truly unique and captivating interior. 5. The Royal Dairy at Frogmore is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Victorian era. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship continue to captivate visitors and admirers alike, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the British monarchy during the 1860s.
