  • This plate has a wavy edge and is painted in colours after an illustration in 'The Botanical Magazine' with a spray of flowers, of which the name 'Italian Pimpernel' is written in black on the back. Botanical paintings of this series were formerly attributed to William Weston Young but are now believed to be the work of Thomas Pardoe, who decorated Swansea porcelain.
