Manufacturers of Fern Ware Fern ware is a form of wooden box ware commonly known as Mauchline Ware, though not all items of fern ware were made in the East Ayrshire town of Mauchline. The production of fern-decorated boxes and other small-scale wood-ware is associated with a number of Scottish manufacturers, but most particularly with the family firm W. & A. Smith, which operated in Mauchline from 1810 to 1839, and was listed as a manufacturer of the new brown and coloured fern designs in 1872.[1] Another manufacturer linked to the production of fern ware was Archibald Browns Caledonian Fancy Wood Works in nearby Lanark.[2] Brown held several innovative patents for applying decorative finishes to box ware, including one applied for on 11th April 1870, which described a spatter effect method.
