Hi, Does anyone know anything about this planter. It's measures 10 inch high and 10 inches across. I've done some research and I see words like Jardinier? or Marjolica? Can anyone tell me what this is and if these techniques apply to this? It was my Grandma's of course.
Thank always for your help!
I don't have a definite answer but maybe I can at least point you in the right direction. I see pieces like this and I think Ohio River Valley. In the early 20th century there were dozens of potteries operating in that area. The wavy rim makes me think the maker may be Owens, but it could easily be Brush or McCoy, and possibly a few others.
Majolica is a term for a tin-based glazing used on some Mediterranean pottery. It is imitated by the glaze on your jardiniere. Jardiniere is a fancy word for flower pot.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me. That is very helpful.
