Period:Qing dynasty Production date:1800 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, painted, gilded, underglazed,
Dimensions:Diameter: 19.50 centimetres
Description:
Plate. The arms, “Quarterly per fess indented or and gules”, and crest, “A wyvern wings expanded”, are of Leighton of Loton in Shropshire. Made of underglaze blue, enamelled and gilded porcelain. The Leighton family had lived in Shropshire since before 1155 and Edward Leighton was created a baronet in 1693. This service, which does not display a baronet’s badge, was possibly made for the second son of Sir Charles Leighton, 3rd Baronet, who eventually succeeded in 1784 as 5th Baronet.

Comments:The plate does not bear the arms of Lord Frederick Leighton’s family. Frederick was the first of his branch of the Leightons to be ennobled. The Leightons of the plate are mentioned as nobility at least as early as the 13thC.
