Brass Arts & Crafts Jardinière by Henry Loveridge

An attractive Brass Arts and Crafts Jardiniere by Henry Loveridge for a multiple of uses. The company originated in 1840 and, during the rest of the century, became one of the biggest firms of japanners in the country. This firm originally made japanware on papier mache and on tin. As the japanning trade fell off during the second half of the nineteenth century several firms are known to have moved into copper and brassware. It seems that Loveridge's followed that course.
