Set of four circular dinner plates with English arms, London 1715 with maker's mark of Richard Bayley, which are part of a larger set, of which The Met was given twelve by Mrs Charles Wrightsman in 2012 (2012.205.17). In the eighteenth century, dinner plates were often supplied in sets of 36 – enough to serve three courses to a table of twelve.
