RARE SWANSEA PORCELAIN TOPOGRAPHICAL PLATE circa 1815-1817, circular non-moulded, the interior fully painted with a titled scene 'Ackworth School' within a solid gilt frame and with salmon pink band to the border rounded by solid gilt rim, impressed Swansea trident mark, 23cms diam Provenance: private collection Swansea, consigned via our Cardiff office, to accompany a 1942 letter from headmaster of Ackworth School to then owner Louis Goldstone of 21 Richardson Street, Swansea, this responding letter relates to a request from Mr Goldstone for information regarding former pupils with the surname Bevington Auctioneer's Note: Founded in 1779, Ackworth School, near Pontefract is still in operation. It was originally a boarding school for Quaker children. Mr Goldstone would have been enquiring as to whether the plate was so decorated, as Timothy and John Bevington (the partners in Cambrian Pottery), were alumni of the school. T & J Bevington were also Quakers so it may have been likely. The headmaster's response in the letter was inconclusive. Condition Report: slight impact mark over and to right of main house, fresh decoration
