Jardinière

Staffordshire Factory

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Jardinière by Staffordshire Factory is a ceramic jardinière with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The interior is white. The exterior is primarily a deep pink color. A gold band encircles the rim. Three golden lion heads protrude from the exterior, one centered and one on either side. A floral pattern consisting of blue and white flowers with green leaves encircles the middle. A teal stripe is above and below the floral pattern. A second teal and white stripe and a gold band encircle the base. The background of the image is dark gray, with the jardinière casting a shadow to the right.
