About the Item

A pair of two-tone glazed antique stoneware planters by Powells of Bristol (stamped). These charming antique plant pots are ideal for properties old and new alike with their neutral brown and buff-toned glaze, large, cylindrical form, with integrated handles to both sides, and minimalist impressed patterns. While usable in the garden, they have historically been used indoors and with no drainage holes, would be ideally suited to indoor use or a sheltered outdoor space. You can just imagine them planted with small trees either side of an entrance porch, in the corners of an orangery or bringing style to a country farmhouse kitchen! Powell’s Pottery Established in 1816, Powell Pottery was the second largest British maker of stoneware bottles in the 19th century. Their works were characterised by their two-tone glaze, as demonstrated on these unusual and less commonly manufactured stoneware planters. Referred to as the ‘Bristol Glaze’, Powell’s Pottery were instrumental in discovering this unique glaze technique which was first used at Powell’s by Anthony Ammatt in 1835. Powell’s was absorbed by their rivals, Price Pottery, in 1906, trading under Price, Powell & Co. until 1961. Dimensions for each. Weight for the pair: 60kg
