Notes
The monograms and cyphers on these dishes are those of King William IV (1765-1837) and Queen Adelaide (1792-1849).
These dishes were originally part of an extensive service supplied by Rundell to the Royal family circa 1835. A large portion of the service was sold at Christie's by William, 1st Earl of Londesborough, in 1898. Pieces from the service have since reappeared at Christie's auctions in London and New York.
