Description.
A Glamorgan Pottery reticulated plate. Hand-painted with an exuberant floral design to the well of the plate. Arcaded reticulations to the rim and basketweave inner border. 

The Glamorgan pottery was commenced by George Haynes, adjacent to the pre-existing premises of the Cambrian Pottery, the owners of which had fallen out with Haynes prior to commencement of his new Glamorgan pottery business. The Glamorgan pottery commenced business in 1814 and continued until 1838.


The distinctive hand painted reticulated plates were an unusual product for the Glamorgan. Little hand painted work was produced by the company. These reticulated plates were more or less the exception. It may well be that they were produced from 1814, as many of them bear the earliest Baker, Bevans and Irwin Mark. 


The Cambrian property started producing its own arcaded plates in the period 1817 to 24. 


There are minor differences in the form of Cambrian and Glamorgan pottery arcaded plates. The Cambrian has a greater number of reticulations and its plates are slightly wider. In addition, the basketwork is slightly between the two companies. This piece has the smaller number of reticulations and smaller size and is, therefore, attributable to the Glamorgan Pottery.

Please see our other items.  We generally have several hundred items listed here and elsewhere. If you have a particular collecting sphere, or simply wish to know about all of the stock, please contact us.

We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps our environmental footprint!

We do not offer combined postage.

If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.

When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.

We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's  unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.

We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. 

Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
