A rare Swansea soup plate from the Lady Seaton Service

Circa 1817-20.
With a lobed rim, printed in light blue with scattered garden flowers, including carnation, narcissi and poppy, 24.4cm diam

Footnotes

Provenance: Roland Williams Collection. The service was purchased in 1864 from Bryn-Newydd House, near Swansea, the property of the late Arthur Jones and was subsequently acquired by Lady Seaton. See E Morton Nance, p 343, footnote 1. A salad bowl is illustrated by Oliver Fairclough, Welsh Ceramics in Context, Part II, p 206. Similar lobed plates are found in the Lysaght and Bevington-Gibbins services, suggesting all three were perhaps made during the Bevington period.
