This dessert service, which we bought from J. Rochelle Thomas in London in 1951, is another example of Peggy's eye for quality being quicker than mine. My initial reaction was that the pattern was a bit busy, but she recognized the fine craftsmanship of the burnished gold borders and of the painting of the fruit. As a result, I purchased it and gave it to her as a present. Today I believe it is one of the most refined and beautiful services we have.

Thomas Steele is recorded as painting a number of services with "fruit arrangements on marble slabs, and... elaborate gilt arabesque borders." See J. Twitchett, Derby Porcelain, London, 1980, p. 275.
