The crest and initials surrounded by flower sprigs within a pink scale-pattern border. Provenance: Heirloom & Howard Ltd., 31 January 2003; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Howard, "Chinese Armorial Porcelain," Vol. I, pg. 695. Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 185, no. 213. Lot Essay: This service thought by Chaffer to be for Owles (a local Lowestoft family) thus starting the myth of "Oriental Lowestoft," a misnomer previously applied to Chinese export porcelain wares.
