About the Item
Reference:
Burmantofts was established by Wilcock & Company in Leeds and ran between about 1880 and 1904. See Majolica: A complete History and Illustrated Survey by Marilyn G. Karmason & Joan B. Stacke page 129 for a discussion of the factory.
And from the Astbury Web site ( www.astbury.org/pottery/dicdtl.htm)
Burmantofts (Messrs. Wilcox and Co. (Ltd.)), Leeds Yorkshire 1882-1904,
originally the firm made bricks sanitary tubes and other architectural goods.
When James Etches became manager in 1879 he began the production of tiles, art pottery and architectural faience. Wares were dipped in majolica glazes in the popular 'Art Colours' of the period; Olive Green, Lemon yellow, brown and dark blue. Although the Glazes, in combination with relief moulding, were the sole decoration on most pieces, a variety of decorative techniques were sometimes employed. Modelled figures such as snakes, dragons and lizards were applied to vases other ornamental wares. Sgraffito and barbotine techniques were also used.
The vast majority of Burmantoft's output consisted of relief moulded Jardinieres, flower pots, pedestals and umbrella stands. They also offered a line of small 'uglies and grotesques' which were dipped in the famous glazes. Speciality output included Anglo Persian influences introduced in 1887, Anglo Moresque wares introduced in 1900 and Floruda ware, which was unglazed terracotta with painted floral decoration. Later wares were increasingly in the Art Nouveau style.
