专家说明

Simon Harcourt (1714-77) held a number of diplomatic posts throughout the 18th century, beginning as governor to the prince of Wales in 1749. After George III assumed the throne in 1760, Harcourt negotiated the new king's marriage to Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz the following year. In the late 1760s, Harcourt served as British ambassador to Paris, when the present service was delivered. He unfortunately passed away in 1777 after trying to rescue his favorite dog from drowning in a well.
See D. Peters, op. cit., vol. II, pp. 409-11, no. 69-5 for a discussion of the most recent scholarship on this service, the pattern of which was formerly identified as the 'Sartine' service.
