Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The arms possibly belong to the English family of Burnell, although according to Howard the crest is not recorded as a Burnell crest (Howard, 1974, p. 572). Chinese porcelain was popular in Europe not only for practical use as dinner, tea and coffee services but also for interior decoration. A garniture is a set of matching vessels of uneven number, usually varying from five to nine pieces, made for display on the mantelpiece, on brackets and cornices of walls, and in cupboards and cabinets of European houses. Such garnitures became popular in Europe duringthe Kangxi period (1662-1722).
