This sculptural form is modeled as three intertwined tree trunks, wrapped with leafy vines and berry clusters and cinched with a finely molded rope-twist band—a classic expression of Jones’s naturalistic majolica and its early faux-bois tradition.
The circular top is glazed in a deep, glossy brown to resemble a cut tree section, while the underside displays the distinctive mottled brown and green undersurface associated with early George Jones production.
Highly decorative yet fully functional, this piece is perfect as a drinks table, a sculptural accent in a garden room, conservatory, or any interior where naturalistic design shines. It also works beautifully as a garden seat or plant stand, bringing charm and presence wherever it’s placed.
Under the base is the raised mark featuring a moulded two-lobed cartouche containing the George Jones monogram above the words “Stoke on Trent,” a documented mark used circa 1861–1873, along with its corresponding pattern number.
