Swansea. Established about 1750; it was greatly enlarged by George Haynes in 1780, who styled it the “Cambrian Pottery.” In 1802 the works were purchased by Lewis Weston Dillwyn, and about 1810 an improved ware was made which was termed opaque porcelain; with the assistance of Young, a draughtsman employed in delineating natural history, the ware became remarkable for its beautiful and truthful paintings.
The early Swansea ware was elegant in form, and frequently covered with a deep blue glaze.
