Description
A rare Nantgarw small tazza c.1818-20, the shallow circular body with a turned rim and raised on a heavy turned foot, London-decorated with a butterfly and ladybird between two floral arrangements and further single scattered blooms, the exterior with gilt husk and garland borders, 11cm dia.
This shape is unrecorded at Swansea and associated very much with the Nantgarw factory.
