Victorian Holdcroft Hexagonal Porcelain Garden Seat with Oriental Decoration

About the Item

A porcelain garden seat of hexagonal form decorated in relief with lily of the valley flowers and bamboo leaves on a cobalt-blue ground. Molded bamboo-shaped mounts ending in bracket feet adorn the corners of the piece, nicely enhancing its geometrical shape while brown Greek key banding and picket fences frame the central scene. A central serpentine cut-out on the top serves as a handhold as well as to prevent the collection of water. This late 19th century oriental-themed garden seat is impressed J. Holdcroft at the base, the famous British factory influenced by designs from Minton and Wedgwood and active between 1870-1900. The true recreation of nature, the use of great colors along with the Oriental decoration, characteristic of Holdcroft potteries, make this Victorian hexagonal porcelain garden seat a key addition to any interior.
