These were made en suite to a Chinese armorial dinner service comprising of a bowl, a circular vegetable tureen with lid, four octagonal soup plates, a large octagonal saucer dish and a small saucer.

From the bequest of Miss Kathleen Penny, Croydon. The armorials are for Dickinson of King Weston, descendants of Edmund Dickinson, physician to Charles II. This service was made in 1771 to celebrate the marriage of William Dickinson to Philippa, daughter of Stephen Fuller, of Brightling in Sussex. Amongst others, they were great grandparents to Mary, who married Thomas Charles, 2nd Lord Robartes, 6th Viscount Clifden.
