C19th Large Glazed Terracotta Garden Urn / Wine Cistern; by Lipscombe & Co

19th century
Description

An exceptional C19th large glazed terracotta garden urn / wine cistern; of unusually large scale by Lipscombe & Co. The oval shaped bowl having a bold everted foliate moulded edge above the lobed body with a stif leaf rim collar below; raised on a fluted socle, decending to the octagonal plinth base with incised decoration. A rare and impressive piece of saltglazed stoneware giving major gravitas. Would be equally impressive in a garden or interior as a jardiniere or wine cooler. The rim of the bowl and the plinth stamped " LIPSCOMBE & CO PATENT GLAZED TERRA COTTA POTTERIES CHESTERFIELD"

English circa 1860

Very good condition

Dimensions (ins) 38 wide x 28.5 deep x 26 high

There were numerous potteries within the vicinity of Chesterfield, the majority founded in the second half 19th century and closing by the first and second World Wars. Geographically the area was ideal, with seams of clay deposits running between seams of clay and salt transported over the Pennines from Cheshire to Chesterfield, led to the production of salt glazed pottery for domestic use. The improvements in infrastructure encouraged the industrialization and growth of numerous manufacturing potteries in the this area, such as Lipscombe & Co.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in classical antiquity and popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries, wine cisterns and grand urns were designed to hold ice for cooling bottles or serve as decorative vessel features in grand houses and gardens.

These urns were typically crafted from kiln-fired terracotta or earthenware clay, coated in a lead or salt glaze to provide waterproofing, weather resistance, and a smooth finished surface.

Authentic pieces often display makers marks or stamped inscriptions around the base, crisp relief moulding such as gadrooning or acanthus motifs, and minor craquelure or age-related wear within the glaze.

Position the urn as a focal point on a foyer table, within a sunroom, or atop a large console, leaving it unplanted to highlight its sculptural silhouette or filling it with dried botanicals.

Clean the surface gently using a soft damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners or pressure washing that could chip the glaze, and protect outdoor pieces from severe frost.
