Description
A Nantgarw oval dish c.1818-20, painted in the manner of William Pollard with simple sprays of strawberry, dog rose and heartsease within moulded C scroll borders edged in gilt, impressed Nantgarw CW mark and incised B, 30cm.
The incised letters or numbers on certain Nantgarw pieces are believed to relate to tally marks. Cf. David M Phillips, Swansea Nantgarw Review No 2, p 5 for a discussion of this theory.
