In gardens they have been much used from the Renaissance onwards (please click on History for more background information). Pictured below are examples taken from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Dr Johnson did not like them; "Sir, I hate urns! Would they were beaten to pieces to pave our streets".Lead Urns
