By descent to Richard, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1797-1861), Stowe Park, Buckinghamshire; his sale; Christie's, 23 August 1848, lot 956 (186 pieces for 29 pounds, 18 shillings). Property of the Late Hugo Morley-Fletcher MA FSA (1940-2022). Note: The present plate is from the important armorial service made for Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, second Marquess of Buckingham and his wife Anna Eliza, Baroness Kinloss of Stowe in Buckinghamshire, which he inherited in 1813. The motto ‘TEMPLA QUAM DILECTA' translates as ‘how beautiful are thy temples’. In 1822 he was elevated to 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos but his extravagance, along with his son’s, ultimately ruined the family, and in 1848 the contents of Stowe were put up for auction and sold by Christie’s on the premises in what has become a legendary sale. The Worcester dinner-service was sold on the eight day of the sale as lot 956, and it was described as 'A dinner-service salmon colour and gold, with arms, consisting of two tureens, covers, and stands, eight sauce ditto, four scroll and six oblong dishes, covers, and liners, twenty-seven dishes and 119 plates', and was bought by T. Delarue Esq. for £29 18s. Eighty-two pieces of the service were later bought back by the Third Duke, but on his death these were sold in the second Stowe sale in 1921.
