Plant Pot Stand, Buckley, North Wales, Last Quarter 19th C.

Description

Here we have a marvellous slipware flowerpot stand from the Buckley Potteries in North Wales. These sought-after flowerpot bases are rare. The elevated style and design gives the flowerpot a raised and majestic look.

With fabulous rich mature galena glaze over the slip-decorated body, unglazed inside to allow for water evaporation to rise up around the plant pot, creating a perfect damp atmosphere for the leaves of the plant in the pot.

Made when these potteries were at their height, thrown in two parts (top and bottom) then joined together, dipped in slip and then decorated free-hand with the lovely leaf pattern, the emblem of the pottery.
