The thickly potted and finely turned foot seen on this vase is characteristic of a range of Nantgarw vases and tazze which appear to be rather individual in their precise shape and form. The distinctive gilded border on this lot is closely related to those found on a dessert service painted with copies of 17th century Flemish paintings. The decoration of this service is attributable to Powells on the basis of its similarity to a plate in the National Museum and Gallery in Cardiff, inscribed to the reverse 'J Powell 91 Wimpole Street'. A similarly decorated but slightly larger vase was sold by Bonhams, 1 December 2010, lot 81.
