Specialist note

The arms are those of Blantyre of co. Lanark, most probably for Robert Walter Stuart (Stewart) 11th Baron of Blantyre (1777-1830) who married in 1813 Fanny Mary Rodney, grand daughter of the famous Lord Rodney. Blantyre was representative peer for the Kingdom of Scotland in 1806-07 when the sauceboat were probably commissioned. His family seat was Lennoxlove in East Lothian which had been built with money given by Frances Stewart (Stuart) Duchess of Richmond.
