The pair of iron-red-ground jardinières or plant pots and stands, decorated with Roman acanthus within 'Etruscan' pearled borders, are likely to have been acquired in the 1840s by Colonel Robert Myddelton Biddulph (d. 1872), at the same time as one of the striped jardinières from the group of three in this lot, supplied in the later 1840s by Messrs Minton & Co.'s Porcelain Manufacture in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
