The house and chequered path were copied from a print by J. Kip in Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne, 1715, pl. 34, reproduced in England in Henry Overton, Overton’s Prospects, c.1720-30. A similar dish is at Burghley House, and another was formerly in the Harriet Carlton Goldweitz Collection in the United States.
This is one of three recorded dishes decorated with this view of Burleigh House, near Stamford. The design was after J. Kip, Nouveau Théatre de la Grande Bretagne, 1715, pl. 34, or a smaller version published by Henry Overton in Overton's Prospects, London, c. 1720-30, pl. 65.
