Maker: Cauldon  Pattern: Native

Cauldon acquired F and R Pratt of Fenton, Staffordshire in the early 1920s and continued production of Pratt's Native Scenery under its original name of Native. Pratt's produced Native Scenery from about 1880 to 1920 and it is the same design as Native made by W Adams of Stoke in the 1820s and it seems likely that Pratts acquired the printing plates from the Adams factory at some point and re-introduced the pattern.
The scene is believed to depict Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby known as The Ladies of Llangollen who lived together in north Wales from 1790 to 1831.
This jar is really heavily potted and probably had a tied cloth cover originally, as it has a string tie rim and Fortnum & Mason, London is printed on the bottom. Presumably it held something tasty and good in the past.
Excellent condition.
