Footnotes
In June 1816, David Evans would have been the only painter at the Swansea factory able to paint the '...Dessert Service China Wild Flowers' bought by George Talbot Rice, 3rd Lord Dynevor, for 84 guineas at that time. William Pollard did not join the factory until late 1816 or early 1817 and would have needed considerable practice before he was able to produce work of this quality. The Dynevor service was ground-breaking in terms of its peculiarly Welsh painting style, produced so early on in Welsh porcelain production and set to have such a great influence in British ceramic decoration. Invoices for the service are extant in the Dynevor Archive at the Public Records Office in Carmarthen
