Henry Loveridge & Co originated in 1840 and 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 This firm originally made japanware on papier mache and on tin.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.

This planter is in original condition and has la lovely age to it. Would make a great planter.
