Specialist note

A scalloped plate from this service is discussed in Simon Spero and John Sandon, Worcester Porcelain 1751-1790, The Zorensky Collection, Suffolk, 1996, p. 289, no. 355. The pattern name derives from an assoication with the Thynne family, probably Lord Henry Thynne, second son of Henry Frederick, 3rd Marquess of Bath.
