There couldn’t be a more appropriate venue for this exhibition of porcelain tableware, which brings together 12 artists at the Nantgarw China Works Museum.
Making fine porcelain — “white gold” — was the defining moment in Nantgarw’s history when, in 1813, William Billingsley and Thomas Pardoe came to the farmhouse on the bank of the Glamorganshire canal, just north of Cardiff. It was a time when porcelain in Europe was a blue-chip commodity for the very wealthy.
The recurring theme of this exhibition is the fusion of boundaries between the functional and decorative in objects used on a daily basis as is the case with Justine Allen’s works.
