The Fereday service, Susan Knop and Michel Reymond

Abstract:

The Fereday service is a rare example of armorial porcelain tableware relating to colonial Australia, bearing the name, position and crest of the owner Dudley Fereday, first Sheriff of Van Diemen’s Land (1823–33) (plate 1).

A recent discovery in Tasmania has uncovered the English porcelain factory which made the Fereday table service.
