Catalogue Note
Bacchanalian pattern was originally designed by Thomas Stothard for Rundell Bridge and Rundell. The earliest pieces of this rare pattern date to 1812 and are in the Royal Collection. Bacchanalian pattern appears to have been produced primarily for dessert services, with most pieces made by Paul Storr and his successors.
