Note du spécialiste
The coat-of-arms and crest found on these entree dishes are those of Kelly, for Sir Fitzroy Kelly Kt. (1760-1880), politician and judge. The additional three crests and initials under a coronet are for Angela Georgina, Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), philanthropist and art collector.
Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts was the granddaughter of Thomas Coutts (1735-1822), founder and from 1778 the sole partner of the London bank Coutts & Co. She used her great wealth to amass a large art collection and to fund numerous philanthropic schemes for which she was created a baroness by Queen Victoria in 1871. She died in 1906. Her body lay in state for two days whilst 30,000 people paid their last respects. She was buried in Westminster Abbey on 5 January 1907.
A pair of entree dishes with very similar covers created for a service for the Duke of Norfolk are illustrated in T. Shroder, The Gilbert Collection of Gold and Silver, Los Angeles, 1988, pp. 426-429.
