An unusual feature of Thomas Pardoe’s decoration on pottery and porcelain was his use of a stylised ā€˜Garter-Star’ motif which he used at Swansea, Bristol and Nantgarw. Learn more about Thomas Pardoe at our bicentenary exhibition opening on Sept 9 and running through to Christmas

A Cambrian pottery earthenware plate decorated by Thomas Pardoe around 1803-1807 with a view of St Vincent’s Rocks and Hot Wells, Bristol likely copied from the source print from the late 18thC. The view today is dominated by the Clifton Suspension bridge built in 1835.

You could be forgiven for thinking these are contemporary. In fact they are from a pearlware dessert service made at the #CambrianPottery, Swansea about 1805 and decorated by Thomas Pardoe. Plenty more to drool over at the #pardoebicentenary opening Sept 9th Nantgarw Chinaworks & Museum

Does anyone recognise this house which features in one of Thomas Pardoe’s sketchbooks from around 1818-20? It is most likely to be either South Wales or West of England. See Thomas Pardoe’s sketchbooks at the #pardoebicentenary opening on Sept 9th

Thomas Pardoe often taught young ladies to paint on pottery and porcelain. Some of these students’ work has their name written underneath and stylistically show Pardoe’s influence. See examples at the Pardoe bicentenary opening Sept 9 bit.ly/3KQdSdA #pardoebicentenary
