A set of three smaller dishes of the same pattern by Lamerie belong to the Corporation of London. Another set of four with scroll feet matching those on the present pair, belong to the epergne made for Algernon Coote, 6th Earl of Mountrath, in 1736. Both related sets are illustrated in Susan Hare, ed., Paul de Lamerie, 1990, figs. 79 and 87.
