Maker: Pratt  Pattern: Native Scenery

F and R Pratt of Fenton, Staffordshire produced their Native Scenery from about 1880 to 1920. 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 as Pratts Native Scenery. The scene is believed to depict Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsoby known as the Ladies of Llangollen, who lived together in north Wales from 1790 to 1831.
This jardiniere or cache pot is in good condition, although the glaze is crazed and it has taken up some staining mainly around the top and internally. There is a manufacturing glazing fault on one side, not affecting a significant part of the design. A rare piece in a strongly collected pattern.
