Description
An English porcelain armorial plate 1st half 19th century, painted with the crests for the Leigh and Tracy families, on a dense flowerhead ground, the rim with three floral panels, 26.5cm.
It is likely that this service was made for Thomas Charles Hanbury Tracy (1801-63), who succeeded to the title of 2nd Baron Sudeley in 1858. He served briefly as a Whig MP for Wallingford, and assumed the surname Leigh between 1806 and 1839.
