From a presentation service, from James & Rachael Lee to Mr & Mrs Bilton. See Sandon’s book on Grainger’s Worcester, p 61 for an inscribed plate from this service.

Described in Grainger’s Worcester Porcelain by Henry Sandon on Page 61, as follows:

“Part of a presentation service of Clarendon shape, the plate inscribed on the reverse as a gift from James and Rachel Lee to Mr & Mrs Bilton, in 1830. The ground is rich claret and the quality is superb.”
