A FAMILLE ROSE ARMORIAL PART DINNER SERVICE FOR THE PORTUGUESE MARKET

CHINA, QING DYNASTY, CIRCA 1760
Sale room notice
Unlike indicated in the catalogue, this service was not made for the Portuguese market. It was almost certainly made for James Grosset, who was a Scottish merchant living in Lisbon at the time, and who took the name (and therefore the arms) of Muirhead, when his uncle died. See David S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, volume II, Chippenham, 2003, p. 256.
