Description 🔉

A rare ceramic piece, a bone china box with transfer-printed decoration, was manufactured by W.H. Goss to celebrate the lives of the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby. These educated women were a well-known couple in the late 18th and early 19th century. After eloping from Ireland in 1778, they settled in Wales, establishing a residence, Plas Newydd, on the outskirts of the village of Llangollen. They played host to many renowned individuals, including European royalty, British celebrities, the Duke of Wellington, Wordsworth, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, and Josiah Wedgwood. The two women, truly devoted to each other, spent their entire lives together and never once spent a night apart.

Note:
Abbott Antiques is a small business selling antique and collectable quality items at affordable prices. We specialise in Curiosities, Religious pieces, Items of Provenance, miniature, rare and interesting items, although as a general dealer we sell a variety of items. Our belief is to encourage people in their collecting. We have many years of experience, having traded from our shop, various Antique Centres in Norfolk, selling both to local and international collectors and dealers. We offer also a 'finding service' and undertake research, at no extra cost. Personally, we collect little, although we are very fond of automata, having a small collection of such items.
