It is also featured in the 1878 catalogue. Barnard, Bishop and Barnard's design for this slow burning stove won a gold medal at the 1878 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Thomas Jeckyll (1827-1881) designed numerous pieces for the firm from 1862 to 1877. His decorative vocabulary was inspired by the taste for Japanese ornament. From 1872 Jeckyll started to use a pair of facing moths within a roundel as a personal emblem. The four bees, also within a roundel, is recognised as the rebus of Barnard, Bishop and Barnard.
