Abstract
An important historical document that is referred to by authors of Welsh porcelains is the statement made by Henry Morris, a celebrated artist who worked at Swansea and is esteemed for his decoration of Swansea china, to Colonel Grant Davidson in 1850: this document has received much interest because it was made by someone who actually worked at the china works, who knew Dillwyn, Walker and Billingsley and who could shed some light upon what happened there and who worked there. As part of this study this statement has been dissected and analysed and several inconsistencies announced of which readers need to be aware.
