A BIT OF HISTORY
SylvaC (with a deliberate capital C at the end) is a brand of British ornamental pottery characterised primarily by figurines of animals and Toby Jugs. The company was founded in 1894 by William Copestake and William Shaw. Central to the SylvaC line throughout its history were figurines of animals, and rabbits in particular. The SylvaC company briefly ceased production in 1982 although production of SylvaC pieces was resumed in 1998 by the current trademark holder Norman Williams. SylvaC pieces are not rare; however, they are becoming collectable, and the best pieces can fetch high prices.
