Paul de Lamerie’s work, characterized by technical superiority and ingenious design, was often commissioned by members of the English nobility and the Russian aristocracy. This vessel bears the arms of Baron Lilford, a significant title still held by the Powys family today. One of its most prominent members, Thomas Atherton Powys, 3rd Baron Lilford, served as a Lord-in-Waiting from 1837 to 1841 in the Whig administration of Lord Melbourne. He was the father of Thomas Littleton Powys, 4th Baron Lilford, a prominent British ornithologist and one of the eight founders, and later president, of the British Ornithologists’ Union in 1858.
An almost identical tureen is pictured in Beyond the Maker’s Mark: Paul de Lamerie Silver in the Cahn Collection by Ellenor Alcorn.
