The Lyon family are one of the oldest and most distinguished families of Scotland. The family name became Bowes-Lyon after the 9th Earl married the wealthy heiress, Mary Bowes, in 1767. The name was made famous by Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wife of George VI and mother to Queen Elizabeth II. The service was gifted to the Royal couple at their wedding in 1923, but returned to Glamis Castle in 1952 at the death of George VI. The service at Glamis contains only three sauceboats and it is possible that this is the only piece of that service not at Glamis Castle.
1136. A Chinese armorial sauceboat, c.1768, the spout painted with the crest for Louthian, the sides painted with colourful birds and famille rose flower sprays, some fritting 19.5cm.
