The Montmorin service was made for Armand-Marc Comte de Montmarin-Saint-Hérem and was delivered on 24th May 1787. Much of it was purchased by Thomas, 2nd Marquess of Bath, and was sold at Christie's in 2002 as part of the contents from Longleat. Four plateaux à trois pots were included in the original service.
