Copies of originals by Edward Feline made for George Booth, Earl of Warrington, in 1749 and included in the sale of Warrington Plate at Christie's, London, in 1921. They may have been the "Basins to wash my mouth" listed in the Earl's manuscript inventory of his silver but it is perhaps more likely that they were intended as finger bowls, or for flowers.
