Bowl
Cambrian Pottery (Established in Swansea in 1764, the Cambrian Pottery reached its creative peak under the proprietorship of Lewis Weston Dillwyn (1778-1855), who ran the Pottery (with a break between 1817 and 1824) from 1802 to 1836. Lewis Weston Dillwyn was a natural scientist, antiquarian, Member of Parliament, magistrate and landowner whose intellectual interests drove the Cambrian Pottery to become one of the most ambitious and artistically accomplished British potteries of the early 19th century. While the porcelain manufactured in Swansea between 1814 and 1825 justifies its reputation as among the finest of British porcelains, the pottery produced under Dillwyn’s ownership between 1802 and about 1809 was at its best an equally impressive achievement, most particularly that made for sale in the Pottery’s Cambrian Warehouse in London 1806-1808, the context for which this supper service was most likely created.)
Bowl, earthenware, standing on a rounded slightly spreading foot, curving rounded sides; transfer-printed in brown and overpainted in red, blue and green with to the exterior sides of the bowl a Chinese-style scene showing a peacock-like bird in the foreground with to one side a spreading spray of large flowers and foliage and to the other side a distant pagoda, to the interior bottom of the bowl a small scene showing a pagoda, fence and spreading willow tree, border tro the interior rim of spreading branches, large flower heads and foliage issuing from a dentilled brown band which has been tinselled with a lustre wash.
