‘PRECARIOUS CHINAMAN’ (Fig. 28)<br />

This teabowl shows <strong>the</strong> same version of <strong>the</strong> ‘Precarious Chinaman’ pattern<br />

as on Grant-Davidson’s teapot illustrated in his article on Early Swansea<br />

Pottery in his E.C.C. Transactions and also in his ‘new’ book. The inside<br />

border of <strong>the</strong> bowl is one of <strong>the</strong> Swansea ‘Fan’ borders-an extremely<br />

popular border found with many Swansea patterns. The ‘Precarious<br />

Chinaman’ pattern is also given to Rothwell by Grant-Davidson who<br />

believed it to be unique to Swansea. The engraving lines here are deeper<br />

and <strong>the</strong>refore a stronger, darker print is formed.<br />
