circa 1750, of rectangular form with canted corners, centered with crest with iron red ground, four white crosses flory, upper left corner with blue lion passant on gilt ground, surmounted with lion rampant holding white cross flory, the whole surrounded with scrolling gilt leaves, and foliate sprays, diaper border, 9-1/4 in.
Note: "The service was made for Sir Richard Chase, Sheriff of Essex in 1744, son of Richard, a wealthy citizen and ironmonger of Gracechurch Street and Much Hadham in Hertfordshire. The Lordship, Much Hadham, was an Elizabethan house and was much improved by Sir Richard, who built 'a drive for the benefit of his coach and six without which he never ventured to take an airing'. He died in April 1758 having directed that he should be taken to the church in his own coach and buried outside the West window, but that the gravestone should be covered by turf-- as it still is today. Sir Richard's aunt was Hannah Chase.
The same arms were ascribed to Samuel Chase (very distantly related), a signatory of the American Declaration of Independence (although he actually used those of his mother's family)."
