A rare Swansea flat-back of a mare and foal, c.1820

A RARE HORSE AND FOAL FLAT-BACK GROUP,

Circa 1815.


    The figures stand side by side on a moulded green grass supported

on a pink gilt-lined stepped base.


     Length: 5 7/8 inches.


     Condition: Excellent.


     This group was most likely made at the Dillwyn & Co. works in

Swansea where for a period of time an opaque china such as these

figures were made.  Further, a similar model of pointers, on an

identical base, was sold at Philips, Cardiff, in 1988 and another

example can be seen at the County Museum, Truro.
