This is an attractive ceramic posy holder produced by SylvaC that dates from the 1950s to the 1960s.
The posy is moulded in the form of a log. The front and back slope inwards towards the rim and the random moulded pattern is divided by vertical ribs. The whole is glazed in a green colour.
The base has a raised rectangular rim, which is unglazed and shows the underlying ceramic body to be white. Within the rim, the words ‘SYLVAC MADE IN ENGLAND’ and the pattern number ‘1965’ are impressed.
It has a height of approximately 4.7cm, with a length across the rim of about 15.0cm and a width of about 4.0cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 180g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is crazing to the glaze.
