Banks & Thorley Bamboo
Banks and Thorley as a pottery didn't last very long–they were only in operation from 1875 to 1886, but they left their mark on majolica with their beautiful Bamboo pattern.

Potted at the height of the Aesthetic Movement, the pattern was a response to the influence of Japanese tastes on Western decorative arts. It is a large, fully realized pattern that must have been very popular in its day judging from the number of pieces that survive today.

The pattern is really a very simple one. The ground of all the pieces is a golden basketweave against which are displayed multicolor bamboo fronds. The handles are usually brown.

Dimensions:
5.25" x 4.5" x 6.5" (Width x Depth x Height) less
