Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The arms have been identified as belonging to the English family with the surname King. The service may have been commissioned by Lt.General Sir Henry King K.C.B. who died in 1839 (Howard, 1974, p. 738). This and similar blue-and-white landscape designs were among themost popular Chinese designs in the West and were much copied by English ceramic manufactories throughout the 19th century. The Chinese prototypes often included willows, which gave rise to the name ‘willow pattern’ for this general type of design.
