A NANTGARW (LONDON-DECORATED) PLATE OF MACKINTOSH SERVICE-TYPE
CIRCA 1818-20
Almost certainly painted in the atelier of Robins and Randall, after François Levaillant with two exotic birds perched on or in flight above flowering branches with a nest of eggs, within a broad border gilt with C-scrolls, shells and trailing foliage enclosing five vignettes of bouquets, within a shaped gilt dentil rim (minor rubbing to enamels, some wear to gilding at well and rim)
10 in. (26 cm.) wide

专家说明

A number of Nantgarw services with this kind of decoration are known. One was originally in the possession of the Priest Richards family of 'Pls Newydd', near Cowbridge. In 1880, it was given to Ella Priest Richards on the occasion of her marriage to the Mackintosh of Mackintosh. Three such services are discussed by W.D. John and Katherine Coombes, Nantgarw Porcelain, Supplement Number Two, The Mackintosh Services with Exotic Bird Decoration, Newport, 1969. All are thought to have been ordered by Mortlocks from the decorators Robbins and Randall of Barnsbury Street, Islington and the bird painting probably by Thomas Martin Randall.
