A rare and beautiful Nantgarw Porcelain vase has returned to the place it was made. Through the BBC TWO programe Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, this rare Nantgarw Porcelain Vase was bought at a boot sale by James Lewis for £38 who initially thought it might be Spode, after a lot of research he contacted dealer Stuart Brown of The Welsh Connection and asked him to confirm his new idea that it might in fact be of Welsh origin and would he be interested in purchasing it if it was indeed Nantgarw. They agreed to meet at Nantgarw House home of the Nantgarw China Works Museum the place the vase was made . Stuart confirmed that it was in fact a very rare Nantgarw porcelain vase which had been decorated in London and after a little haggling agreed to purchase it for the grand sum of £3600 the profit going to a charity of James Lewis choice. The Nantgarw Vase has since been sold to a local private collector and it is hoped the vase will be on show at Nantgarw China Works in the near future
