Triagular Pillar Jardiniere, shape no. 934
This model is an exuberant example of the leading British manufacturer Minton’s interpretation of Renaissance revival style in one of its signature products, majolica. Part sculpture, part ornamental flowerpot, the form would typically have been featured in a middle- or upper-class domestic conservatory—a glass-enclosed space in which exotic plants imported from across the world were cultivated and displayed as markers of status.
