This travelling breakfast service – which includes a tea caddy, cup and saucer – was decorated by Queen Charlotte of Württemberg (1766–1828), the eldest daughter of George III. A keen artist, she was regularly supplied with blank porcelain plaques, which she decorated and gave to family members as gifts. Here the plaque has been added to the top of the breakfast service and sent to her sister, Princess Augusta, whose initials AS (Augusta Sophia) are engraved on the gilt-metal mounts of the cut-glass.
