Footnotes
- The landscape is after a view in Thomas Milton's 'Views of Seats in Ireland' (1783). The 14th century Howth House, now known as Howth Castle, was remodelled in the 20th century by Sir Edwin Lutyens, although the present day facade appears to be little changed when compared to Weston Young's painting on this lot. The various Swansea services of this type and the attribution of the painting is discussed by Andrew Renton, Thomas Pardoe and William Weston Young, Welsh Ceramics in Context (2003), p 129
