Comparatively little London-decorated Welsh porcelain is found with marks for the workshop in which they were painted. John Powell was an independent decorator who moved from Great Marylebone Street to 91 Wimpole Street in May 1817, remaining there until 1820. Marked examples such as this lot provide an important guide to the attribution of unmarked pieces. Of particular interest here are the scrolled borders and the gilt bands around the floral panels. The style of decoration is most unusual for Powell, many of the marked pieces bearing figural scenes, often copies of 17th century Flemish paintings.
