SylvaC is a British ornamental pottery manufacturer best known for its animal figurines and Toby Jugs. The SylvaC company momentarily suspended production in 1982, but Norman Williams, the current trademark holder, resumed production of SylvaC components in 1998. William Copestake and William Shaw formed the company in 1894. Shaw and Copestake became the names of the new corporation. Richard Hull became Shaw's partner after Copestake quit in 1895. Hull's son joined in 1936, and the Thomas Lawrence Falcon Pottery (which made pottery with the characteristic 'falcon' logo on it) was purchased in 1938. The Shaw and Copestake corporation, on the other hand, kept its original name till the end. Animal figurines, particularly rabbits, have been a staple of the SylvaC line throughout its history. Despite the fact that a variety of colours and glazes were employed, most people recall the unmistakable orange or green glazes. Pieces by SylvaC are not uncommon; however, they are becoming collectable, and the greatest examples can command high prices. Despite the fact that SylvaC was never especially expensive to make, was never in any way rare, and was certainly never intended to be high art, there is a vested interest in keeping pricing high, as with any collectable. Since the days of Shaw & Copestake, the Falconware/SylvaC brands have gone through many hands, and the notion of a "Golden Era" of SylvaC is a fairly modern invention that has harmed all of the major pottery firms, particularly those headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent. Comes with Original Impressed Maker’s Mark.
