Lot Essay

The present pattern is thought to be for the Portuguese market, although little is known whether there lies significance in the lightness and darkness of the two halves, perhaps suggesting night and day. For a very similar plate to the present lot, see D. Howard, J. Ayers, , London and New York, 1978, II, p. 549, no. 567, where it is discussed that the same design was used for a service made for Dom Joaquin Xavier Batello de Lima (1717-1800), Archbishop of Evora.
