PONTYPOOL JAPANWARE
1732-1817
In the 16th century, Japanese lacquered furniture became fashionable. In Pontypool, locally produced tin plate was decorated in the 'Japan way'. At John Hanbury's works, Thomas Allgood discovered a material which created a brilliant hard lacquer on the metal. By 1732, the first small-scale production of japanware had begun.
Candlesticks, tea trays, butter dishes, powder boxes and small domestic items were produced, decorated in imitation tortoiseshell with gilded Chinese landscapes, figures or floral designs. Pontypool wares were expensive, being of high quality and time-consuming to produce, but were popular all over the world. This mural was produced in 1993 to commemorate this famous local product.
