Three Samson plates and a charger of Nelson Service pattern

early 20th century
the borders painted with oak leaves and gilded acorns, reserved with two panels of drapery inscribed 'Nelson 2 April' and 'Nelson San Josef', the centres with the full arms of Viscount Nelson of Bronte, 23 and 32cm diam (4)

Footnotes

The original service was probably presented to Nelson by the City of London in 1802 and was decorated in London using Coalport and French Porcelain blanks. The original pieces use a faint transfer-printed outline for the armorial centres, later copies such as this lot being entirely handpainted
