Dish, Kangxi c.1720, with the arms of Governor Charles Boone of Bombay
Dish, Kangxi c.1720, with the arms of Boone. One of four services made between c.1718-20 for the same commissioner. Almost certainly made for Charles Boone (son of Thomas Boone of St. Andrews Undershaft in the City of London), Governor of Bombay in 1716, who returned to England in 1720 and was later a director of the East India Company and the Bank of England. Charles Boone’’s uncle, John Boone, emigrated to Calvert County, Maryland, whose descendants have all since lived in America.
