<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michelle Davies, post: 9515699, member: 82392&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across this interesting piece of green coloured pottery in a local shop in West Sussex.&nbsp; Looks like it could be a planter or dish of some sort?&nbsp; The markings at the bottom seem to indicate &quot;SylvaC&quot; with what looks like a model number &quot;4641&quot; and it was made in England.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve done a little research and found out that SylvaC was founded in 1894 by William Shaw and William Copestake and given the company name of Shaw &amp; Copestake. William Copestake left the in 1894 and in 1895 Mr Richard Hull became William Shaw’s partner in the business.&nbsp; SylvaC was mainly known for producing ornamental animals especially rabbits.&nbsp; Other than animals, SylvaC Pottery included Gnomes, small novelties called ‘Fancies’, Character and Toby Jugs, figures, advertising wares amd tablewares.&nbsp; The SylvaC company briefly ceased production in 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please does anyone know anything more about SylvaC?</p><p>I read in a wikipedia article that production of SylvaC pieces was resumed in 1998 by the current trademark holder Norman Williams.&nbsp; Is this factually correct?[ATTACH=full]451442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451443[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
