L.: 28 cm - H.: 20,7 cm (incl. cover)

Provenance: 
- Previously in the collection of Käthe & John Marsing. 

Decorated with the arms of Backwell quartering Tyringham. Elizabeth Tyringham, daughter of Sir William Tyringham, married John Backwell in 1678. John was the son of Edward Backwell, goldsmith and banker in London. Their eldest son, Tyringham Backwell (for whom this service was most likely made), married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Francis Child, Lord Mayor of London from 1698-1699. Tyringham Backwell died in 1754. This service was more than likely brought from Canton by Tyingham's cousin; Duncomb Backwell, captain of the Princess Royal (1738) and the Northampton (1741). Duncomb was lost at sea in 1746.
