Alton Ware Jardinière

This is the Jardiniere that started my love of antique 

and vintage plant pot's.It is Alton ware.

It belonged to my Grandmother Maud Evelyn Kirkpatrick,

who then passed it onto her daughter 

Maria Josephine Milcs.

My Mum then passed it to me in the 1980's.

I now very lucky to have it my possession 

It doesn't have a the markers stamp as 

when my mother was a small child she climbed onto

the side board where the pot was kept and knocked

it over the edge.

It has been repaired but there is a section

missing from the bottom.

I was very lucky to find a saucer in 

the same vain to place beneath it,so the missing section isn't as noticeable.

I have done some research 

and actually found a vase with the same

pattern on it.It has a stamp underneath which dated it to

 Circa 1912.
