FINEST
REGENCY PORCELAIN LANDSCAPE
DISH ON SWANSEA PORCELAIN ATTRIBUTED TO WILLIAM BILLINGSLEY C.1817
"A
rare and attractive hand painted Swansea porcelain plate with flat gilt
edge
line circa 1817. Landscape painting on Swansea porcelain is very rare
and this is one of the finest examples of landscape painting on Regency
ceramics we have seen. It is a delight, a super piece and
a great example of finest Swansea Welsh ceramics for your choice china
cabinet
display. This piece has been attributed to the hand of William
Billingsley and as such must rank among the best surviving examples
of his decorative landscape work. Similar in style and composition to
his scenic work
on Pinxton teawares but more considered and less hurried with more
precision and detail. Antique ceramics of this quality - from the
inspirational leading light among the talented and
highly collectable
group of Swansea ceramic artists - are rarely found outside of museum
collections. A highly
desirable acquisition for the discerning collector and connoisseur of finest quality antique porcelain." Antiques
