A fine Nantgarw cabinet cup and stand

Circa 1818-20.
The cup of cylindrical form, the moulded Empire handle mounted on the everted rim, an anthemion applied at the lower terminal, painted by Thomas Pardoe with two square panels of flowers, a gilded anthemion in between, the stand with a band of flowers surrounding a central sprig, stand 15cm diam (2)

Footnotes

See W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain Album, pl. 84 for a related cabinet cup and stand with the same handle form, floral panels on the cup and floral band on the stand. See also E Morton Nance, The Pottery and Porcelain of Swansea and Nantgarw, pl CLXXIXE and F for two more related examples. The only difference is that the illustrated cups stand upon three claw feet. The underside of the cup on this lot bears three scars which were partly glazed over during manufacture. It seems likely that three claw feet were originally applied but became detached after the glaze firing and before the enamelling stage
