This Arts and Crafts Burmantofts Faience stick stand from 1900 is produced in glazed earthenware and terracotta. The tall cylindrical ceramic body has a deep red glaze and a square inset lime green relief panel near the top that contains three thistle motifs. Vertical fluted mouldings run down the sides, and pierced heart-shaped drainage apertures sit at the bottom above feet decorated with circular indentations. Light surface scratches appear on the glossy surface, and the piece shows no breaks or cracks. It stands 63 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 27 cm deep. Positioned beside the front door, this stick stand holds umbrellas and walking sticks in a hallway or entranceway. The glazed finish protects the earthenware from moisture, while the heavy ceramic construction provides stability for everyday domestic use. The naturalistic thistle decoration and deep red coloration fit into traditional, rustic, or period interiors, adding functional utility alongside historical character to a hallway setting.

FAQs

Produced by the Leeds Fireclay Company from the late 19th century, Burmantofts Faience refers to architectural terracotta and decorative art pottery. These pieces were prominent during the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, recognised for their rich glazes and relief mouldings.

These stands were typically crafted from earthenware or terracotta clay cast in plaster moulds, then fired with translucent glazes. Designs often incorporated relief panels depicting botanical motifs alongside drainage apertures near the base to prevent water collection.

Authentic examples usually bear impressed maker marks, shape numbers, or monograms on the unglazed base. Additionally, period pieces display characteristic glaze pooling in low-relief areas, heavy construction weight, and subtle crazing consistent with historical lead glazes.

Position the piece in an entryway or hallway beside a coat rack to function as a vessel for umbrellas and walking canes. Alternatively, it can serve as a floor-standing accent vessel in a corner, holding dried botanicals or standing independently as a sculptural element.

Wipe surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the glaze. Ensure the interior remains dry, using a removable plastic liner if active umbrellas are stored inside to prevent moisture ingress through unglazed bases.
