Provenance
Sir David John KCMG
The motto and crest is that of the Ramsay family of Straloch House and Barra and is more usually found on a service more simply decorated with gilded borders. A plate from that service is illustrated by W D John, Nantgarw Porcelain (1948), p.115, Illustration 34B, and another was exhibited at the Coming Home exhibition, Nantgarw China Works (2019), p.35 in the catalogue. The present lot is much more richly decorated and may have been produced as a specimen for a service that was never ordered.
