Footnotes
From the service on display in the Joseph Gallery at the National Museum Wales. A large plate from the same service is illustrated by W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain Album (1975), illustration 45. The pattern also occurs with a mixture of fruit and flowers in the central spray. See the dish sold by Bonhams 18 May 2016, lot 413. The decoration may be attributed to the Powell workshop as a similarly-painted coffee cup and saucer in the National Museum Wales, bears the distinctive gilded border found on marked Powell pieces. See Oliver Fairclough, The London China Trade 1800-1830, ECC Trans, Vol.16, Pt.2, p.209.
