Footnotes
Pardoe seems to have favoured this type of dish for this type of decoration. It certainly provides a good flat surface to receive the painting. Related examples are illustrated by W Turner, The Ceramics of Swansea and Nantgarw, pl XX, by W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain, coloured illustrations 48A and 48B and by E Morton Nance, The Pottery and Porcelain of Swansea and Nantgarw, pl CLXXXA.
