About the Item

A 20th century terracotta Compton Pottery urn (stamped) reminiscent of the scrolling Gertrude Jekyll designs of the same era. With a more contemporary design, this highly sought after piece of British heritage would not be out of place in a modern or period property. The planter is stamped internally with the Compton logo and a maker’s mark of TM. Compton Pottery Founded in 1904, the Compton Potter’s Arts Guild was established by Mary Seton Watts (1849-1938). The pottery produced a wide range of ceramics, jewellery and gardenware in the early 20th century but were best known for their distinctive pots. These were made from locally sourced red terracotta and laid out for sale outside the factory as well as other outlets including the legendary Liberty of London. Here, Mary was named as designer, working alongside other talented artisans such as Archibald Knox. Following Mary’s death in 1938, Compton Pottery continued production for a number of years before closing in 1956.
