About the Item

A rare pair of antique Maw & Co glazed jardinieres circa 1860, each impressed with ‘Maw & Co Broseley’ to the base. Made from stoneware, each planter is of a matching design and unusually glazed in contrasting ochre yellow and purple colours. Their gadrooning bodies are ornamented with four lion masks, supported by four lion paw column feet above square bases with canted corners. These are unlike anything we have seen from Maw & Company before. The curious design, paired with the unusual colourway, will make a striking statement in any interior or garden. Style alone on display plinths either side of a doorway to bring classical grandeur to a room. Or plant up with flowers or small green foliage to add colour to a courtyard garden, patio or porch. Maw & Company Maw & Co. was founded in 1850 by George Maw and his brother Arthur. Over the next 30 years, the business would grow into one of the most influential English ceramic manufacturers in the industry, Maw & Co. tiles and wares decorating properties and establishments across the globe. Initially based in Worcester, the business relocated to the Benthall Works in Broseley, Shropshire in 1852. Here they primarily made their highly sought after encaustic tiles while experimenting with majolica glazes, transfer print, hand painting and relief tiles. In 1883, the business expanded, relocating again to a new premises in Jackfield. At the end of the 19th century, Maw & Co. was one of the largest tile factories in the world, trading for a further 70 years before closing in 1970.
