The service is illustrated and discussed in Howard, “Chinese Armorial Porcelain”, Vol. 1., at p.271.

According to Howard, the service was likely made for Tyringham Backwell, who married the daughter of Sir Francis Child, Lord Mayor of London. The service was probably brought back from Canton by Backwell’s cousin, Captain Duncan Backwell.
