  • Charles William Mansel Lewis of Stradey Castle, Llanelli, exibited this large painting at the Royal Academy in 1905. Mansel Lewis' earlier work was influenced by that of his great friend, Hubert von Herkomer. This work is much more lyrical, than his earlier, realist landscapes, some peopled with working people. His favoured a dense painting style and subdued colours in his earlier work. The impressionistic effect was created by scraping away paint, to reveal white underpainting. The view depicted is Stradey Pond, one of the artist's favourite places on his estate. There are very few works by Charles William Mansel Lewis in public collections. Dimensions: 101 x 147 cm. Oil on canvas

  • This painting is of a Bavarian scene and shows peasants on a prayer walk in the mountains. A shrine can be seen in the foreground. The brooding figure at the top of painting, who watches the procession, is a self portrait by the artist. This figure watches a female at the top of the procession; the model for this figure was Herkomer's mistress, Lulu Griffiths. Herkomer made his name as a painter of social realist and genre works. His first and greatest patron was Charles William Mansel Lewis of Stradey Castle, Llanelli. Having sold 'Der Bittgang' in 1883 to Sir Stafford Howard, Mansel Lewis painted a full-size copy with which to replace the original. Dimensions: 101cm x 147cm. Oil on canvas

  • James Dickson Innes (1887-1914) was born in Llanelli, the son of a Scotsman who was employed at a local tinplate works. He was educated locally and at Christ College, Brecon. He later studied at Carmarthen Art School and Slade School of Fine Art. He travelled widely in France and Spain. In 1911 he travelled to north Wales to paint with fellow artist Augustus John. He died of tuberculosis in a nursing home in Swanley, Kent, after many years of ill health. This watercolour was painted by James Dickson Innes on one of his visits to north Wales, when he often painted out of doors. The Arenig mountain and the Bala area inspired his later work. This watercolour has exaggerated, acid colours and stylised trees and geographical features. James Dickson Innes presented this work of art to Parc Howard. It seems likely that it is one of the first items to arrive in the newly-opened art gallery in 1912; it also seems likely that it was the artist's mother who actually presented it. Dimensions: 40 x 49cm. Watercolour on paper.

  • This large blue and white jug was once part of toilet set. The Oriental pattern is typical of the chinese inspired transfer printed patterns produced in the Llanelli factory from 1840 to 1855. Dimensions: height 29cm

  • 'Cawl' bowls were made in the Llanelli factory to sell in Wales. 'Cawl' was the staple diet for families in the country or towns; it consists of a clear soup made of boiled meat, vegetables with ample chopped parsley. The bowl is decorated with sponge decoration. The pottery made in the factory at this time was of poor quality, which had a tendency to 'craze' into fine cracks. Dimensions: height 7.7cm, diameter 16cm.

  • A small lustre jug. Similar jugs were made in the Staffordshire factories. This is one of a very few lustre items made at the Llanelli factory, which is strange as copper lustre jugs were so popular in Wales, and remain so today. The transfer printed scene in the roundel shows Tintern Abbey.
