Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The cover is painted with floral motifs ‘en grisaille’. The form of this coffee pot, with spout and handle at right angles, derives from English silverware; a related silver example with a woodenhandle, engraved with a decorative cipher, and made in London in 1705 or 1706 by Isaac Dighton is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. This shape was particularly popular during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-14) and went out of fashion in the 1760s; it is also found in English stoneware of the late 17th and 18th century, made in Staffordshire and in Fulham, London. The coat of arms has been identified as belonging to the English family of Clifford of Chundleigh (Howard, 1974, p. 299). The service may either have been commissioned by Hugh, 3rd Baron Clifford of Chundleigh (1700-1732) or by his son Hugh, 4th Baron Clifford of Chundleigh (1726-83). French replacement pieces for this service were made by Samson of Paris. See Howard 1974; p.299 for a Samson mug with these arms, made, almost certainly at the request of the family as a replacement. Howard 1974; p. 306. For a plate decorated in blue enamel from the same service.
