Late 19th to early 20th century majolica delphin garden planter by Wannopee Pottery Company. Pedestal in the shape of a classical delphin / dolphin, topped with a round leaf pattern planter / urn with scalloped upper edge. Brown and green mottled glaze. Incised mark on base of bowl.
"The Wannopee Pottery Company was established as The New Milford Pottery Co. in New Milford, Conn., in 1887. The factory produced utilitarian pieces in restrained colors. In 1892, with the reorganization of the company and called Wannopee, the factory brought forth a French faience pattern, Lettuce Leaf, in majolica. Its number of different shapes brought to mind those of GSH, and it added items such as olive dishes, asparagus plates, chop plates, square, rectangular or ovoid plates, tobacco jars and large candlesticks. The firm was successful until 1904, when it failed. It soon was reestablished in Trenton using original molds from New Milford. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a collector of the Green Lettuce Leaf Pattern, (which is still very sought after by collectors today)." (New Milford Historical Society / Majolica Society)
