Bowl and cover
Llanelly Pottery Company Ltd, South Wales Pottery (1912 - 1923)
SHUFFLEBOTHAM, Samuel (Samuel Shufflebotham worked as a pottery decorator at the South Wales Pottery, Llanelli, from 1908 to 1915 when he left in order to serve in the army during the First World War.
Before coming to Llanelli it is most likely that he was employed at Poutney's Bristol Pottery, where he would have worked with wemyss painters from the Fife Pottery. Shufflebotham introduced the wemyss ware style of decoration into the South Wales Pottery after he was recruited by them in 1908 in order to extend their range of 'art pottery'.
During the 1920s he worked at a pottery in Bristol, and during the 1930s he was working at potteries in Devon. Shufflebotham specialised in the painting of flowers.)
Bowl, earthenware, standing on a rounded spreading slightly waisted foot-rim, rounded curving sides, round domed cover with flat too and to the centre a disk shaped finial; freely painted in purple, yellow and green with around the exterior sides of the body and around the sides of the cover running wreaths of semi-stylized flowers and foliage, purple bands to the exterior lip-rim, the rim of the cover and the top of the finial.
