A decorative, antique Victorian Burmantofts faience glazed jardiniere/planter. 
Stamped on the base Burmantofts Faience 1857 England B and a J further down
Dimensions: 31cm across x 24.5cm high.
There is a large 10cm chunk missing from the base
Much harder to photograph is the crack (which is stable) - pictured in photo 4 
I have tried to get close-ups of it in the next three photos
Internally there are ingrained marks from soil use

It's a stunning red glaze and the jardiniere displays very well from the unchipped side
and can be used as a pot holder
The last pic shows one in the collection of the National Trust

COLLECTION ONLY FROM BRISTOL BS7
