The jardinière was available in two sizes, 15-ins, and 20-ins wide, this being the larger.

Professor Gottfried Semper (German 1803 -1879) was an architect, designer, author, and design theorist. While at the Dresden School of Art, he was forced to flee in 1848 due to his involvement in the May Revolution and eventually found refuge in England, where he was employed at South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) in the Department of Practical Art and was a member of the Prince Consort's circle. From 1852 to about 1855, he taught principles of decoration at the Government Schools of Design from 1852 to about 1855. (Weber, Vol. I, p. 200). According to Paul Atterbury, in circa 1850, Herbert Minton hired Semper to design pieces for his firm's new range of wares, Majolica. Atterbury includes a design drawing by Semper, ca. 1852, of this piece (p. 298).

For thirty years we have been among the preeminent specialists in fine antique majolica.
