Footnotes
There are similarities in the decoration of the pottery saucer and the porcelain teapot in this lot. This has led some commentators to suggest that porcelains bearing this pattern represent Haynes' experimental Swansea porcelain. However, this now seems unlikely. Many pieces of the pattern show differences in detail and use overglaze blue enamel. Others with closely matching decoration have been shown to be by Staffordshire makers. For a discussion of Swansea experimental porcelains, see Dr Maurice Hillis, Welsh Ceramics in Context, Part II, p 170
