Provenance:
The Rowland Williams Collection
Thomas Pardoe had established his own decorating business in Bristol by 1809 and painted on Coalport and other blanks. Relatively little can be attributed to his work there, the majority being tea and coffee wares. These include services for the Honourable Mrs King, Lord Milford and William Lewes, together with a set painted with shells for an unknown patron. The present lot forms part of a fifth service. Like the other sets, this lot bears his 'trade-mark' of the gilded Garter Star, as seen on his earlier work on Cambrian Pottery and later at Nantgarw.
