What makes Nantgarw porcelain special? In the years 1813-1814 and again in the period 1817-1822 some of the finest porcelain in the world was produced at the Nantgarw China Works in Wales by William Billingsley who was one of the most remarkable porcelain painters and manufacturers of his time.

Background
The Nantgarw China Works factory made porcelain of very high quality, especially in the years from 1813-1814 and 1817-1820. When the English factories had switched to bone china Nantgarw was one of the last factories to make soft-paste porcelain.
