D.S. Howard illustrates a Chase platter from the Bullivant collection and notes that the service was made for Sir Richard Chase, Sheriff of Essex in 1744, whose distant relative, also entitled to these arms, was Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence (Chinese Armorial Porcelain, vol. I, p. 259).
