Condition: some slight re-touching of enamels, gilt line, with only minor wear. Displays well.
The ’07’ mark could be either painter or gilder; examples from this period sometimes have both, in red. If it is the painter’s mark, ‘7’ is the notable William Billingsley – these are certainly ‘Billingsley Roses’, a technique he pioneered at Derby and went on to teach to other porcelain painters of flowers. However, an ’07’ mark is not apparently recorded, just ‘7’; it may therefore be a red herring, and in fact be the gilder’s number.
Sir Henry Thynne of Longlete was delivered a service of this pattern in the early 19th century, hence the name.
