Abstract
Here, the major artists involved in both Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain decoration are discussed: the evidence presented to earlier authors by personnel who actually worked at or who remembered relatives accounts of who had worked at the factories is considered. A rather tenuous link is explored between three people who could have had some overlap at Nantgarw and some interesting conclusions drawn about whether or not the Billingsley daughters could have painted at Nantgarw.
