An interesting Swansea plate of Burdett-Coutts service type

circa 1815
Painted in London, probably in the Sims workshop, with a basket of colourful flowers within a gilded border of scrollwork and stippling, the border with three moths in flight, gilt dentil rim, 21.2cm diam, impressed SWANSEA, 'CANDILLI' in red enamel (cracked)

Footnotes

The Burdett-Coutts service is thought to have been ordered by the banker Thomas Coutts. The floral painting is likely to be the work of Thomas Turner at the Sims workshop. Most pieces from the service bear red-painted inventory numbers. This lot bears no inventory number and the meaning of 'CANDILLI' is not known. The plate is perhaps from another service of the same pattern
