About this piece
back to topA pair of antique buff terracotta urns stamped Henry Sharp & Jones, Poole, Dorset. Dating from circa 1880, this stunning set of antique garden urns are beautifully made, each bowl formed of flared terracotta floral petals which sit on impressive rectangular bases with maze-like etchings.
Georgian in style, each antique urn is of a matching design which is simple yet elegant, featuring characteristic weathering and a neutral buff terracotta colour which would look striking as ornamental elements of any garden.
