The arms are of Troutbeck of Dunham, Cheshire. The arms on this service are incorrectly painted, with the shield gules instead of azure. A later service was delivered around 1780 with the correct coat of arms.
According to Howard, both services remained together with the same family descendants until 2001.
Literature:
- For the arms and a cup from this service, see D.S. Howard, 'Chinese Armorial Porcelain’, Vol. II, p. 491. See also p. 433 for the correct coat of arms and a cup from the later service. See also p. 15-18 for a discussion on heraldic errors and both examples illustrated.
