This travelling breakfast service includes a tea caddy, cup, saucer and sugar basin. It was decorated by Queen Charlotte of Württemberg (1766–1828), the eldest daughter of George III (1738–1820). A keen artist, she was regularly supplied with blank porcelain plaques which she ornamented and gave to family members as gifts. In this case she has inset the plaque into a fashionable travelling accessory. The piece was evidently sent to her sister, Princess Augusta (1768–1840), since the initials 'AS' (Augusta Sophia) are engraved on the gilt-metal mounts of the cut-glass.
