Legend has it that this design became known as the ‘Blind Earl’ pattern, after George William Coventry, the fifth Earl of Coventry (1722-1809), ordered a service of the pattern. He had lost his sight in a hunting accident, and took pleasure in being able to touch and feel the moulding of the service.
