English Lead

Garden ornaments cast from lead have been prominent in English gardens since the 18th century. Early leadwork was often painted, but today the material is appreciated for its own appearance, which blends harmoniously with stone and plant life.  Lead is extremely tolerant of the elements and improves with age. 

Many sizes, shapes and designs are available in planters as well as fountains, birdbaths, plaques and statuary.  Each item is handmade using sheet lead, carved moldings and sand casting.

English Terracotta

Eye of the Day is a proud distributor of the products of Whichford Pottery, perhaps the most renowned maker of English terracotta. These top quality, frostproof terracotta planters and pots are made by hand on potters wheels, using traditional methods. It can take up to six weeks for their skilled craftsmen to produce some of their larger pieces. Those who cherish the handmade tradition and who seek the very best will be drawn to the quality and variety of Whichford Pottery, known as "The Queen's Terracotta."

English Limestone

The beautiful limestone products of Redwood Stone are made using natural stones, to avoid the false color and character created by the use of pigments or dyes.  These stones are quarried and crushed, and used to produce reconstructed stone with a beautiful, fine honeycomb texture.  Each piece is hand-finished to ensure that its appearance is as close as possible to that of cut natural stone pieces produced by the most skilled stonemasons.  In time, the limestone will take on its own natural patina.
