Lot Essay:
The service was made for the Beale family who were prominent in Canton in the last decade of the 18th century and the beginning of the nineteenth. Daniel Beale, formerly a purser in the East India Company, became Prussian Consul at Canton in 1787 and there founded a private firm of Cox and Beale in 1791. From 1798 to 1815 his brother, Thomas Beale, was Prussian Consul until he went bankrupt after trading in opium bonds. The service then was passed to his cousin, Thomas Chay Beale, then to the Chay Beale's daughter, Nina, and finally then to her son who sold the service in 1970.
Width: 10 3/4 in x diameter: 9 1/2 in x depth: 2 in.
