Sylvac is a brand of British ornamental pottery characterized primarily by figurines of animals and Toby Jugs. The Sylvac Company briefly ceased production in 1982 although production of Sylvac pieces was resumed in 1998 by the current trademark holder Norman Williams.The company was founded in 1894 by William Copestake and William Shaw. They gave their names to the fledgling company - Shaw and Copestake. Copestake left in 1895, however and Richard Hull became Shaw\'s partner. Hull\'s son joined in 1936 and in 1938 the Thomas Lawrence Falcon Pottery was bought (which produced pottery with the distinctive \'falcon\' mark on it). However, the Shaw and Copestake Company maintained its original name right up until the end. Central to the Sylvac line throughout its history were figurines of animals and rabbits in particular. Dogs were also popular and virtually every breed ended-up being characterized in pottery. Many variations of Toby Jugs were produced, including \'character\' versions which celebrated events or tied into product advertising.
