Pair of Compton Pottery ‘Leix’ Terracotta Garden Pots
About the Item
A pair of early 20th century Compton Pottery Leix terracotta garden pots. This model is listed in the Compton catalogue as ‘Leix’. Each are unstamped and of a matching design typical of the Pottery with their spectacular red colour and lobed details. Together, these terracotta planters are a handsome addition to a garden, each lightly weathered with a finish that only time and exposure to the elements can create.
Founded in 1904, the Compton Potter’s Arts Guild was established by Mary Seton Watts (1849-1938). The pottery produced a wide range of ceramics, jewellery and gardenware in the early 20th century but were best known for their distinctive pots. These were made from locally sourced red terracotta and laid out for sale outside the factory as well as other outlets including the legendary Liberty of London. Here, Mary was named as designer, working alongside other talented artisans such as Archibald Knox. Following Mary’s death in 1938, Compton Pottery continued production for a number of years before closing in 1956.
