Two Swansea services of this pattern are recorded, the Gosford Castle service and the Marquis of Exeter service. Apart from subtle differences in the design of the gilded border, the distinguishing feature is that the Gosford Castle service is unmarked whereas the Marquis of Exeter service bears an impressed Swansea mark. Unfortunately, the workshop responsible for the fine quality botanical painting found on both sets is not recorded. Another plate from the service, also bearing the original paper label, was sold in these rooms on 20 May 2015, lot 118 and another on 10 June 2003, lot 239.
