The Bacchanalian pattern is a rare Regency pattern which was designed by Stothard for Rundell Bridge & Rundell. The earliest pieces recorded date from 1812 and are in the Royal Collection. Most of the pieces in this pattern are gilded. Most pieces are made by Paul Storr and his successors and it seems that initially this pattern was made only for dessert services.
