The decoration is later, likely by Thomas Randall, and closely follows the service made for Louis XV of France – see an example here A VINCENNES PORCELAIN 'BLEU CELESTE' PLATE (ASSIETTE A GAUDERON) FROM THE FIRST SERVICE MADE FOR LOUIS XV, CIRCA 1754, BLUE INTERLACED L'S ENCLOSING DATE LETTER A | Christie’s (christies.com)
Condition is excellent, no chips, cracks or crazing. Gilt and pattern is in good order. There is a notch missing from the footrim of one, which has been gilded and enamelled over.
