omschrijvingOval meat dish, part of a service belonging to HRH the Duke of Clarence, later William IV (1765-1837). In the centre, surrounded by gold decoration is an oval grisaille painting showing a figure representing Hope, in classical dress, seated on a rock, holding drapery which flutters out above her head. In the right foreground, an anchor rests on the ground; in the background is a port quarter view of a cutter under sail. The dish has a scalloped rim and a border painted in blue, gold and white. The maker's mark 'Flight' with a crown and crescent is painted on the base. The service is often erroneously described as the 'Nelson Service' and said to depict Lady Hamilton's 'attitudes'. It is also referred to as the 'Hope Service'.
