In this post, Lee Copeland shares her favourite object in the Palace: Bishop Howley's China in the Museum.
When asked, why was that her favourite object, she replied:
I’ve been a fan of vintage China and Porcelain for many years, when these items were purchased for the
Palace I was very excited. I love the idea of the Bishop entertaining guests using his own personalised
dinner set. I would love to own a piece.
Lee also added: The porcelain was made by the Chamberlain factory in Worcester. Decoration on the pieces includes a bishop’s mitre on the coffee cup and saucer, and the arms of William Howley on the dessert plate.
Cup, saucer and dish (1813-28). Hand painted.
