Patricia Edwina Victoria Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, Lady Brabourne, CBE, MSC, CD (1924– 2017) was a British peeress and the third cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. She was the elder daughter of heiress Edwina Ashley, a patrilineal descendant of the Earls of Shaftesbury, first ennobled in 1661, and Admiral of the Fleet the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Lady Mountbatten succeeded her father when he was assassinated in 1979, as his peerages had been created with special remainder to his daughters and their heirs.
Dishes decorated in the famille verte palette with elegantly-dressed women in gardens were popular during the Kangxi period. Dishes of this type appear to represent the idealised concept of a cultured lady instead of a historical person, although the motifs were probably inspired by popular stories, paintings and prints. See a related dish, Kangxi, illustrated in China Without Dragons: Rare Pieces from Oriental Ceramic Society Members, London, 2016, p.315, no.187.
