Description: A stunning Art Pottery jardiniere by Burmantofts. Burmantofts Pottery was a pottery manufacturing company that was established by William Wilcock and John Lassey in 1845. In 1879 James Holroyd, the new owner of the company, started the production of 'architectural faience', and during the next decade the company started producing vases, jardinières and suchlike. The new ranges sold well and in 1888 the company opened its own showroom in London. The Pottery, was only actually called Burmantofts from 1882-1904, then in 1904 when sales of art pottery were flagging, it reverted mainly to production of architectural pieces. Production finally ceased in 1957.
Early Burmantofts pottery was quite plain, typically bulbous vases, often with long slender necks.
Impressed mark to base.
