Richmond opaque china was manufactured by Sampson Hancock potteries in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. Established in 1891 by Sampson Hancock a prominent Wesleyan Methodist.  
"OPAQUE CHINA" was a trade name made between 1891-1935, but judging by the flow ware-type design we would say this is was Victorian c1890’s.  A very sweet little tureen with its lid (which has been mended) and its little serving dish. Planted with Bacopa whch will keep flowering throughout summer. 
 
All our plants are accompanied with detailed care instructions and packed up carefully in compostable recycled boxes packed with straw and shipped with an overnight courier service.
 
Our potted plants make lovely sustainable gifts as nothing is single use or thrown away - the bowl can be used for multiple purposes and the violas can be re- planted outdoors or into a bigger pot if necessary. Each pot comes with a personalised gift card and the option of our Cambridge Imprint wrapping paper and vintage velvet ribbon.
