Several services with this design, in both grisaille and sepia, were made for Philadelphia families. The Quaker girl Mary Hollingsworth Morris sketched the scene, possibly after a Dutch engraving. Her sketchbook survives at Dumbarton House, Washington D.C., alongside grisaille and sepia examples of the porcelain that descended in the family. See J.G. Lee, Philadelphians and the China Trade, p. 73.
