專家說明
The arms are those of Herbert for George Herbert, 2nd Earl of Powis (1755-1801). George Herbert was educated at Eton College and succeeded his father in 1772. He held the position of Lord-Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire from 1776 and also for Shropshire from 1798. The year these dishes were made he became colonel of the Montgomeryshire Militia, having retuned from his Grand Tour. It is thought he acquired the classical sculptures for his Welsh seat Powis Castle during his time in Naples and Rome, where he was painted by Batoni. He died unmarried at the aged of 45.
