An unusual Spode armorial part service

£450 - £550

£540

An unusual Spode armorial part service, each piece printed with a quartered shield within blue floral and cracked ice borders, printed and impressed marks and 'B No108'. Minor damage. c.1825, comprising: a soup tureen, cover and stand, two sauce tureens, cover and stands, two rectangular meat plates and a strainer dish. (12) This appears to be the arms of Robinson quartering Waldegrave. Unfortunately the Waldegrave entry in Burke's Peerage does not give detail of younger sons and daughters; but the fact that the armorial is quartered indicates a descendant of these two families, and the arms in a lozenge without crest indicates an unmarried lady. Therefore almost certainly the service was made for a Miss Robinson whose mother should be a Waldegrave heiress, that is without brothers.
