 | Maker: Cambrian Pottery Pattern:Seaweed
Pap Boat c1840
This pap boat is decorated with the Seaweed sheet pattern, which was used by Dillwyn at the Cambrian Pottery at Swansea and also at the nearby Ynysmeudwy Pottery. It has a bulbous body, drawn into a fine spout.
There is no maker's backstamp, but from the style and pattern we have attributed it to Dillwyn.
Under the spout is a minor firing crack and inside the rim a small rim chip, which has been glazed over, both would have occurred during manufacture. The rim has a few minor nicks and wear, mainly to the inside. The glaze is generally sound with just a few small patches of crazing, mainly underneath. Overall the boat is bright and clean.
Dimensions: 11.5 cm long 5.5 cm wide at neck 5.5 cm high / 4.5 ins long 2 ins wide at neck 2 ins high
