The arms on the Justice salver are those of Janssen, probably for one of the sons of Theodore Janssen, a Dutch born merchant and director of the South Seas Company, created baronet in 1714. The salver was made by Justice to match a waiter by Paul de Lamerie, 1734, now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (see Ellenor Alcorn, English Silver in the MFA, Boston, vol. 2, item 77, p. 136). Two of the sons, Henry and his younger brother Robert, established themselves in Paris, where they are recorded as the owners of an important silver collection, now known as the Orléans-Penthièvre service.
The arms on the Cookson salver are those of Burdon or Bourden.
