circa 1718, crest of Page of Gosport in Hampshire to rim, a gilt demi seahorse, on blue ground with gilt highlights, center of bowl decorated in the Imari taste, 8-7/8 in.
Note: "Sir Gregory Page of Greenwich, a very wealthy brewer and East Indies merchant, was MP for New Shoreham in Sussex and a director of the East India Company. He was created a baronet in December 1714. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas Trotman of London, in 1690 and died in May 1720. A service of identical style was also made with their full arms of Page impaling Trotman, and a third similar service for Sir Gregory’s daughter Mary, who married Edward Turner in May 1718; almost certainly all three services made at the same time."
Chinese Armorial Porcelain Volume I, David S. Howard, Faber & Faber, 31 May 1974, p. 179-180 for all three services.
