Footnotes

A smaller but similar plate was sold by Bonhams 2 November 2015, lot 205. In 1818, a service of this pattern was given as a wedding gift by the Prince Regent to his brother, Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge. The decoration is attributed to Thomas Martin Randall. See W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain Album, illustration 58. Extant examples reveal some significant variations in the tone of the red ground and the gilded detail, making it likely that a number of services of this pattern were produced.
