A painter called Thomas Thomas is recorded by W Turner, The Ceramics of Swansea and Nantgarw (1897), p.214. He is said to be a painter on earthenware at the Swansea Pottery and to have been '...kept on after the china time to paint earthenware'. He is thought to have died around 1864. If this is so, he would have been 22 years old in 1816 and may well have been the painter of this plaque.
