Doyle New York, May 19th, 2010, lot 306

For the arms, see David Sanctuary Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, Vol. I, London, 1974, p. 696, V3. Howard notes that the arms painted on this service is incorrect. The arms were granted in 1783 and described to have three escallops, which are missing in the present service. The service was most likely made for Andrew Snape Hammond, who had a successful naval career and commanded the H.M.S. Roebuck in the American War. he was later appointed Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. He married Anne, the daughter Henry Graeme of Hanwell in Middlesex in 1779. A part dinner service comprising 30 pieces, formerly in the collection of Sir Egerton Graeme, sold at Christie's London, May 15th, 1993, lot 219. 

A large group of porcelains from this service was formerly in the collection of Helena Woolworth McCann, with examples illustrated in John Goldsmith Phillips, China-Trade Porcelain: An Account of Its Historical Background, Manufacture, and Decoration and a Study of the Helena Woolworth McCann Collection, Cambridge, 1956, pls. 14 and 79. The author points out the similarities in decoration between this English Market service and a Portuguese Market service, which bears the arms of Araujo de Acebedo of Portugal, as they both utilize small shaped cartouches on the rim. Such decoration is closely related to the later produced and more well-known 'Rockefeller' pattern service.
