(Decorator)
This vase is painted with deer in the style of Chinese porcelain. The artist was probably Mary Moggridge, a family friend of Lewis Weston Dillwyn, owner of the Swansea China Works. In the early 19th century, painting ceramics was a popular accomplishment for well-to-do amateur women artists.
