Howell James & Company were jewellers and silversmiths based from Regent Street in London between 1819 and 1911. In 1876 they added galleries showing professional art pottery and the fashionable amateur china painting and immediately became the main London venue for this. They were known to stock manufactured items as retailers adding their names to many pieces created by students and designs of the South Kensington School. In 1884 the company became a limited company and their name changed to Howell & James Ltd.
Ash also known as White Ash, grows in Europe and North America. It is cream-yellow in colour with subtle grain patterns which can have a ripple effect. Ash Burr is rare to be clean and often shows marks from ingrown bark and knots. Often as Olive trees mature they can develop a darker yellow-brown colour.
