Following on the success of the service given in 1762 by George III and Queen Charlotte to the Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, a duplicate serving wares subsequently made at Chelsea, probably in 1764. To distinguish the duplicate wares, a variant shaped rim was employed, with concave instead of convex lobes to the blue border panels. For plates of this type, see the Trelissick House sale, Bonham's, 23 & 24 July 2013, lot 87-89.
