Only a small number of pieces are recorded in this rare pattern, inspired by Meissen porcelain of the Academic and early Marcolini period. It appears to be factory decorated, confirmed by the existence of a sucrier and cover at Plas Glyn Y Weddw, Llanbedrog, decorated with this pattern but of an otherwise unrecorded shape, also derived from Meissen. The matching of a Meissen-inspired pattern with a Meissen shape suggests a coordination which is most likely to occur under one roof. See Fergus Gambon, Swansea and Nantgarw Porcelain (2016), p.31, no.36. A cabaret service of the pattern is illustrated by WD John, Swansea Porcelain (1958), col. pl.8.
