Place of origin |
Plate, porcelain, with a rim shaped in four pointed lobes, painted in famille rose enamels and gold with the arms of Drake. In the centre is the design of two pheasants on a rock with peonies. Round the rim is a border of rocaille work in European style with elements of shells and also what appear to be pottery kilns with vents sprouting smoke and cartwheels. Below is a roccoco shield containing the arms of Drake, Awyvern with wings displayed and tail nowed; the crest is not recorded (in the form of a castle?).
The arms could also be of Venables (Argent a wyvren passant gules). The arms are similar to another, with a different crest, made for the Drake family of Shardeloes in Buckinghamshire and identical to a tea service mae a little later. These two may have been made for Captain Richard Drake of the Hawk, at Canton in 1758.
