A fine Swansea dish, circa 1820

Painted in London in Meissen style with three floral sprays and numerous scattered sprigs, two panels of birds among tress and flowering plants painted just inside the rim, the border richly gilt with fine scrollwork and pendant flowers, the rim applied with a band of white 'jewels', 21.6cm diam, impressed SWANSEA

Footnotes

Illustrated by W D John, Swansea Porcelain (1958), Coloured Illustration 16. The Meissen-style decoration on this lot is exceptional and was perhaps done in the workshops of Robbins and Randall of Barnsbury Street, Islington. The paste appears to be a variation on the usual Swansea 'duck egg' body, the profile of the dish closely matching that of the stand of the soup tureen from the Bevington Gibbins service, the only piece of Swansea flatware so-far recorded with a Bevington and Co mark. This dish may also have been made during the Bevington period.
