Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:This service was probably made for Thomas Nesbitt of Lismore, County Cavan, Ireland, a Colonel in the army and Member of Parliament, who died in 1820 (Howard, 1974, p. 691). Replacements for this service were made by the Spode manufactory in England (ibid.). The flower-spray and border design is generally referred to as Fitzhugh pattern after a service ordered c. 1780 by Thomas Fitzhugh, a later Director of the British East India Company (see ibid., p. 52 top left for a dish from the original service). The pattern became particularly popular in America in the early 19th century and examples exist in different colours (see Howard and Ayers, 1978, vol. II, pls. 508, 516, 528).
