This richly enameled service was made for Dom Gaspar de Saldanha e Albuquerque (c.1720-?), Prelate of the Church of Lisbon, son of the Governor and Captain-General of Rio de Janeiro and brother of the 1st Count of Ega. See N. de Castro, Chinese Porcelain and the Heraldry of the Empire, p. 105. The American city, Albuquerque, New Mexico, was named in 1706 for an earlier Albuquerque, either Alfonso, famed Portuguese explorer (1453-1515) and first Viceroy of India, or the Spanish Duke de Albuquerque, 34th Viceroy of New Spain.
