One of the most iconic of country pottery figures are these pottery Lions , for a long time attributed to Pill Pottery Bristol, but recently reattributed to the Pill Pottery Pillgwenlly, Newport South Wales c.1830
A striking pair of large-sized pottery male lions modeled in repose on raised retalangular bases. Made by H.Davies, at the Pill Pottery in Newport, South Wales. The imposing free hand modeling is readily identifiable as Pill Pottery, whose unique red clay with orange give them a distinctive look. These are not ferocious beasts but wonderful examples of a nave folk art.
