This book gives a detailed account of the holistic research carried
out on the analytical data obtained historically on the products of
the Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain manufactories which existed for
a few years only during the second decade of the 19th Century. A
background to the establishment of the two factories, which are
linked through the persons of the enigmatic William Billingsley and
his kiln manager, Samuel Walker, involves the sourcing of their raw
materials and problems associated with the manufacture and
distribution of the finished products. A description of the
minerals and additives used in porcelain production is recounted to
set the scene for the critical evaluation of the comprehensive
analytical data which have been published on Nantgarw and Swansea
porcelains. For the first time, the author has adopted a
nondestructive technique, Raman spectroscopy, to interrogate
perfect samples of Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain, as well as a
selection of shards from an archaeological excavation carried out
at a waste dump at the Nantgarw China Works site. Following these
experiments, several questions relating to the porcelain bodies of
Swansea and Nantgarw china can be answered and a protocol
established for the preliminary evaluation of items of suspect
attribution to confirm or not the correctness of their assignment
to these Welsh porcelain factories.
