A Nantgarw cruciform dish, circa 1818-20


Painted in London with a central floral spray surrounded by three floral panels edged with gilded scrollwork, the bright turquoise ground with radiating oeil de perdrix in puce and gold, 23cm diam, impressed NANT-GARW CW
|A very similar dish is illustrated by W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain (1948), Illustration 11A. The decoration is similar to that found on the Dukes of Newcastle and Gloucester services, except that the floral panels in the border are edged with scrollwork rather than bands of gilt ovals.
