Footnotes

Moses Webster is recorded by Alfred Wallis and William Bemrose, Pottery and Porcelain of Derbyshire, as stating that 'about the year 1819 he painted quantities of Nantgarw china for Mortlock of Oxford Street who purchased all that Billingsley made at this time in the glazed white state'. The pieces were fired by Robins and Randall. This plate is illustrated by W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain, Illustration 26A, the provenance given as 'From the Duke of Newcastle Collection'. It is, perhaps, the only plate painted in this distinctive style by Webster that can be said with any certainty to have been part of the service supplied to the Duke
