This American eagle plate comes from Morven, the Princeton estate of Richard Stockton, Class of 1748 and signer of the Declaration of Independence. A large amount of porcelain was being shipped from China by the late eighteenth century, expensive dinner sets with armorial crests and custom designs also were commissioned by wealthy families and institutions. While the porcelain bodies would have been manufactured in China, the painted designs could have been made in China or by Western craftsmen after import.
