A selection of pieces from this service was sold by Christie's in 1938: The Contents of Norfolk House, St James's Square, London, The Property of his Grace, The Duke of Norfolk; Christie's, London, 7 February 1938, lot 61 (78,15 to Graham). From the thirty-six pieces in the lot, a teabowl and saucer was given to the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam in 1939 and a single saucer to the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. A part-service comprising the coffee-pot, teapot, teapot stand, tea canister, wastebowl, six teabowls and saucers and six two-handled beakers and saucers was acquired by the Saint Louis Art Museum by 1945. Two two-handled beakers and saucers were sold Sotheby's, Zurich, 2 December 1981, lots 25 and 26.
As these pieces correspond to the compliment of lot 61 in the 1938 auction, it would appear that the present two-handled beaker was not included in this group. However, its saucer is likely the example in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
