A rare Nantgarw porcelain cabinet plate decorated by Thomas Pardoe, the porcelain c.1818-22, the decoration c.1821-23, painted with a landscape vignette of two exotic birds perched on tree branches to the centre, contained within a six lobed cartouche of gilt bands with iron red stylised flower surmounting each lobe and trios of gilt-highlighted leaves to the creases, on a turquoise and duck-egg blue caillouté ground with six ornamental reserves bordered in blue and gilt and containing further painted exotic birds in landscapes, the gilded rim with six large and six small lobes, old collector's label to underside, 21cm diameter The present lot is being offered on behalf of a charity. Footnotes: Note: Thomas Pardoe (1770-1823) was one of the most versatile painters of pottery and porcelain in the late 18th and early 19th century in England and Wales. Born in the parish of St. Alkmund in Derby, Pardoe was apprenticed to the Derby porcelain works at the age of 15, and by age 20 had moved to Swansea as a skilled artisan by request of George Haynes, owner of Cambrian Pottery. Between 1802 and 1804 Pardoe was acting manager and chief painter. Around 1809 Pardoe moved to Bristol, where he is recorded as having a decorating business. While in Bristol, Pardoe acted as go-between in the development of a new venture of porcelain manufacture at Nantgarw, aiming to manufacture the finest porcelain available for the English market. In 1821 Pardoe was invited by William Weston Young to work with him and decorate the large stock of porcelain that remained. Pardoe’s Nantgarw painting was based on his standard repertoire, including Japanese-influenced ‘Imari’ styles, Chinese-influenced ‘famille rose’ styles, botanical decoration, naturalistic flower groups, and caillouté or ‘pebbled’ gilding. Pardoe’s painting at Nantgarw was among his very finest, a reflection of his great admiration for the factory and the culmination of some thirty years of painting experience. The present lot is most likely a single-item commission rather than from a named service or registered pattern, and therefore bears a possibly unique decorative scheme in Pardoe's oeuvre. It bears no impressed mark, but this is not universal for Nantgarw porcelain, see below in the related literature for other examples. The turquoise caillouté ground is strongly reminiscent of Sèvres porcelain and illustrates the prevailing taste and demand for Sèvres porcelain among wealthy families and connoisseurs in London in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Related Literature: Andrew Renton et. al., Thomas Pardoe 1770-1823, Nantgarw, 2023: Nantgarw China Works. Cf. N18 for a plate decorated by Thomas Pardoe in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, item number NMW A 31449, and N20 for a plate decorated by Thomas Pardoe in the Andrews Collection, Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw. The examples mentioned above share the six lobed cartouche with iron red stylised flowers, ornamental reserves painted with exotic birds, and caillouté ground found on the present lot. These unusually elaborate plates showcase the range of Pardoe's skills from figurative and landscape painting to East Asian motifs. The NMW example equally bears no impressed mark and yet is undoubtedly from Nantgarw and decorated by Thomas Pardoe. W. D. John, Nantgarw Porcelain, Newport, 1948: R. H. Johns Ltd. Cf. 53 D. for a small plate decorated in the Kildare S. Meager Collection decorated with similar ornamental reserves to the present lot, albeit containing single pink roses. See also 54. A for a small plate in the E. M. Bythway Collection with a similar treatment of a distant background of conventional mountains in pale bluish-grey colouring to the centre of the plate. We are grateful to Andrew Renton of Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales for confirming the attribution of the present lot based on inspection of photographs.Condition Report: Overall in good decorative order. Some light scratches to the porcelain visible on the centre, some pitting present to the centre and border, some bubbling and tarnishing to the gilt lobed cartouche on the right side, some loss of gilding to the rim, some areas of surface dirt. UV examination reveals a now-defunct postcode inscribed in UV-susceptible ink to the underside.
Chamberlain Worcester pair of armorial dessert tureens and covers from the Admiral Yeo service, each of twin-handled semi-reeded campana form on spreading foot, painted and enriched in gilding with the crest, motto and Badge of the Order of the Bath of Admiral Sir James Yeo, the borders richly painted in an Imari palette with flowering shrubs within oval cartouches reserved on royal blue ground gilt with stylised ornament, the gently domed cover with gilded pineapple finial and gilt highlighted acanthus leaf decoration within conforming border, puce script mark to underside of each cover, ‘Chamberlains Regent China Worcester & 155 New Bond Street London, circa 1815-19, 19.8cm high One of the most important Chamberlain armorial services was made for Sir James Yeo who had ordered a full breakfast, tea and dessert service in 1815. Like his famous predecessor, Admiral Nelson, Yeo chose a pattern from stock, in this case number 298 which had a richly gilded deep blue border with panels of Japan foliage. The painting of his crest and motto on every piece cost 10s. each time, and this accounted for a far greater amount than the cost of the porcelain and border decoration. The set was so lavish that it was not invoiced to Sir James’ estate until 1820, two years after he was killed on a journey home from Jamaica.
