Tankard

Haynes, Dillwyn & Co., Cambrian Pottery (1802 - 1810)
Young, William Weston (William Weston Young (1776-1847), cousin of the physician, physicist and Egyptologist Thomas Young, pursued a varied career not only as an entrepreneur, surveyor and botanist but also as an artist. Between 1803 and 1806 he was employed by Lewis Weston Dillwyn as a draughtsman for his scientific publications, but he also worked as a painter at the Cambrian Pottery. His painting on ceramics is distinguished by its precise detailed manner and by the intellectual interests it demonstrates, whether cultural (such as bards and druids) or scientific (such as birds, butterflies and animals).)
Pardoe, Thomas (1770-1823)

Tankard, pearl-glazed earthenware, drum-shaped, with recessed base, and wide strap handle having double grooves and foliate moulded thumbpiece and lower terminal. Painted with the half-length figure of a druid in profile to left with one arm raised on a dark brown ground within an oval gilt frame of intersecting ellipses each containing three dots. He is clad in a brown robe, wears a circlet of oak leaves, and has shoulder-length grey hair and a beard. On either side, large gilded sprays, one of oak leaves, barley, and acorns with a butterfly, and the other comprising a large tulip, leaves and a floret with a large peacock butterfly.
