A rare Swansea pottery beaker painted by Thomas Pardoe

Circa 1805.
Of plain bucket shape, painted below the rim with a continuous band of pink roses and green leaves, above scattered gilded sprigs and a gilded 'R' monogram, 9.3cm high, 'SWANSea' (sic) in gold in Pardoe's distinctive script (cracked, some wear to the gilded rim)

Footnotes

A comparison of the gilded monogram on this lot with that on the Coalport vase painted by Pardoe at Bristol, Lot 270 in this sale, reveals that they are by the same hand and provides another distinctive Pardoe 'signature'. For a pair of Pardoe-decorated beakers, one marked Swansea in gold and one marked Cambrian, see Helen Hallesy, Swansea Pottery Collectors' Exhibition catalogue 2006, fig 8.19 and 8.20, p 89
