CIRCA 1745-49, INCISED TRIANGLE MARK

While it has long been thought that this model may have been based on a silver original known to, or worked by, the Huguenot silversmith and proprietor of the Chelsea factory, Nicholas Sprimont, no silver prototype has ever been traced. See F. Severne Mackenna, Chelsea Porcelain, The Triangle and Raised Anchor Wares (1948), p. 23 and the example sold in these Rooms, 7 June 1994, lot 19.
