About the Item
An antique Lipscombe
Co. (stamped) glazed terracotta keystone of a Green Man mask, reclaimed from a British private home, mounted on a bespoke steel stand for interior display.
This 19th century depiction of the mythological character is carved in relief, displaying the character as one with foliage, with an expressive, characterful demeanour.
With some weathering, this antique architectural keystone is steeped in history, telling a story of mythology and English heritage.
We have a second keystone available.
Lipscombe
Co.
Lipscombe
Co., also recognised under the name London Pottery, was founded in 1878 and ran by the Lipscombe family.
The company in fact specialised in the production of water filters due to the impurities in water from taps, etc. at the time. The business was so successful that it expanded by building a pottery at Brampton. This was the largest near Chesterfield, according to a newspaper clipping from District News in 1866. At this time, the owner was Frederick Lipscombe.
James Pearson purchased the pottery company in 1886 and connected the works by railway to his Oldfield operation. By 1931, production ceased.
