Provenance
With Anthony Belton, 1980
Graham Slater Collection

Fragments of a very similar plate were excavated on the Vauxhall factory site in Lambeth, see Frank Britton, London Delftware (1987), p.70, fig.I. The Act of Union occurred under Queen Anne's reign in 1707 but the production of plates commemorating the Union evidently continued after 1714 when King George I ascended the throne. A similar plate was sold by Bonhams on 2 June 2004, lot 113.
