1970s SylvaC Harmony Green Glazed Planter Bowl

Not everything from the 1970s has aged well. This has. The low oval shape, glossy olive-green glaze and oversized spiral decoration are unapologetically retro, but the effect is graphic rather than kitsch. Deep green gathers around the raised pattern, giving it real depth, while the smoother sections at either end prevent the design from becoming too busy. Model 4310 was introduced in 1968 as part of SylvaC’s Harmony range. The factory began adding glossy finishes to its ranges around 1970, so this version is best dated to the 1970s. Originally intended as a small planter or posy bowl, it is a good size for bulbs, a succulent or short-stemmed flowers. It also looks rather good empty.

Collector’s Note SylvaC was the trade name used by Shaw & Copestake, founded in Longton in 1894. The name was formed from the company’s Sylvan Works and the “C” from Copestake. The factory became known for its colourful animal figures, novelty kitchenware and an extraordinary variety of decorative vases and planters, continuing production until 1982.
