Nantgarw

Nantgarw pottery dates back to 1813 when William Billingsley and his son-in-law Samuel Walker built a kiln on the eastern bank of Glamorganshire Canal, north of Cardiff in Wales. Using Billingsley’s secret recipe, they began producing a soft paste porcelain which became renowned for its translucency.

Nantgarw porcelain often carries an identifying mark but values are often determined by the period of production – the first period being from 1813, the second after 1820 and the third from 1833 when the vacant pottery was taken over by William Henry Pardoe and production concentrated on stoneware bottles and glazed earthenware.
