Gibbs and Canning were one of the great English stoneware and architectural ceramics manufacturers of the Midlands. They are best remembered for the considerable cast adornments to The Royal Albert Hall. They made the animalia sculptures for Alfred Waterhouse’s Natural History Museum (living on one wing, extinct on the other) and the embellishments to his other great project: Manchester Town Hall. Founded in 1847 the company finally closed in the 1950’s by which time its range was confined to utilitarian products such as drains.
