Abstract
A short description is made of stylised patterned services form Swansea and Nantgarw which never formally had descriptors associated with them at the factory unlike those considered hitherto, but their names now reflect their patterns and appearance with names such as gazebo, elephant and rock, parakeets, kakiemon, mandarin, fretwork bands and arrowheads, carp in a blue pool and elephant under a palm tree. These are usually locally decorated in a simple palette and several are transfer patterned or infilled services.
