This service was recorded in the inventory of the contents of St. Leonard's Hill - renamed Sophia Lodge - after the death of William Dawson and, whilst the greater part of the service has remained in the possession of his descendants, a number of pieces are to be found in the Henry F. Dupont Foundation in Baltimore, Maryland and another piece is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Cf. Geoffrey A. Godden, An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain, p. 356, pl. 626 and the pair of ice-pails and covers, probably also originally forming part of this service, sold in these Rooms on 30 May 1977, lot 76
