Dessert plate with arms of Morgan: Gallery Label - Current
The service to which this dessert plate belongs was commissioned for John Morgan of Hartford, Connecticut. Brought back on the [i]Empress of China[i] in 1785, the service was among the earliest customized for an American. By 1784, when America began trading with China as an independent nation, armorial porcelain had already fallen out of fashion with Europeans.
