In 1737, Capt. Charles Hudson brought 'Three boxes of China Ware containing dishes & plates & Tea setts with their Coats of Arms value £54' [sic] back from Canton on his ship, Prince of Orange. Charles Hudson, almost certainly a nephew of Mrs. James Colebrooke, gives details of his cargo in a letter from St. Helena, indicating the porcelain was 'Directed to Jas. Colebrook and Jas. Buck Esq.' See David S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, vol.II, Chippenham, 2003, p. 200 for a discussion on these arms and a soup-plate from the same service. This service entered the Collection through the marriage Edmund Henry Byng, 6th Earl of Strafford (1862-1971) and Mary Elizabeth Colebrooke, daughter of Sir Thomas Edward Colebrooke, 4th Bt., on 17 December 1894.
