A matching entree dish made by Paul Storr in 1813 was sold by Christie's New York, April 20, 2000, lot 200.
The arms are those of Graham-Toler with those of Brabazon in pretence as borne by Hector John, 2nd Earl of Norbury (1781-1839). In 1808, he married Elizabeth, the only daughter and heir of William Brabazon of Brabazon Park, Co. Meath, who was an heiress through her mother's line, Phibbs of Lisconny, Co. Sligo. Tragically, the 2nd Earl was murdered at age 57 in the grounds of his house, Durrow Abbey, near Kilbeggan. His son-in-law gave evidence that "there was no doubt that it was the butler who committed the act and who took himself off shortly after." (Complete Peerage)
