A Coalport (Anstice, Horton and Rose) sucrier and two saucer dishes painted by Thomas Pardoe, circa 1818

Footnotes

This pattern occurs in factory-decorated Coalport but also on an important tea and coffee service decorated by Thomas Pardoe for Lord Milford in 1818. Some pieces bear script marks to that effect. It seems likely Pardoe bought Coalport blanks bearing only the underglaze blue and finished the decoration himself. The teapot and cover from the service is illustrated by Michael Messenger, Coalport (1995), pl.79, p.130, and other pieces are in the National Museum Wales. A similar cup and saucer was sold by Bonhams, 7 December 2005, lot 265. Pardoe's career at the Swansea Pottery, as a decorator in Bristol and at Nantgarw is discussed by Andrew Renton, Welsh Ceramics in Context, Part I, page 120.
