For the arms see D. S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, London, 1974, p. 249. Although these salts only bear the crests of the family, they would have been part of an armorial dinner service. At this early date, it was quite common to omit the arms and simply depict the crest on pieces which had a limited surface on which to place the arms.
