About the Item

An antique Lipscombe & Co glazed terracotta keystone of a Green Man mask, reclaimed from a British private home. This 19th century depiction of the mythological Pagan character is carved in relief displaying him carved as one with foliage with an expressive, characterful demeanour. The Green Man is a pagan symbol and for the religions modern followers, following the Wicca religion, this character represents seasonal renewal and ecological awareness. Displayed on a custom made steel display stand, this old English style piece is the perfect striking new decorative feature for any period property looking to add an element of charm and intrigue. There is a makers stamp to the back. Lipscombe & Co. Lipscombe & Co., also recognised under the name London Pottery, was founded in 1878 and ran by the Lipscombe family. The company in fact specialised in the production of water filters due to the impurities in water from taps etc at the time. The business was so successful, it expanded by building a pottery at Brampton. This was the largest near Chesterfield according to a newspaper clipping from District News in 1866. At this time, the owner was Frederick Lipscombe. James Pearson purchased the pottery company in 1886 and connected the works by railway to his Oldfield operation. By 1931, production ceased.
