About this piece

back to top

A rare pair of glazed stoneware pots or jardiniere attributed to late 19th/early 20th century clay and ceramics company LEFCO (Leeds Fire Clay Company). Dating from the early 1900s, each feature beautifully preserved detailing in arts and crafts style, incised by hand more than a century ago. To this day, they still serve as a beautiful set of planters for indoors or out, filled to the brim with history and stoneware heritage. To find a pair of these glazed planters in such beautiful condition is a rare find, each accompanied with a separate saucer style base.

Leeds Fire Clay Company (LEFCO)

The Leeds Fire Clay Company (known as LEFCO) was established in 1889 following its amalgamation of 5 existing firms to become the largest clay working company in the country. Specialising in items such as terracotta, bricks and tile, Lefco was one of the major manufacturers of glazed architectural ceramic products of the late 19th and early 20th centuries before the company’s closure in 1957. In 1912, a range of Lefcoware was introduced especially for their garden ornaments, to which these planters are attributed.
