He married in 1793 Lady Susan Gordon, third daughter of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon. Manchester held office as Governor of Jamaica for nineteen years from 1808, where he prepared the colony for the emancipation of slaves. It is possible that he commissioned the present service from Rundells in connection with his new posting to the Caribbean; thence by descent at Kimbolton Castle until the 20th century and acquired by the present vendor by private treaty in 1996. The design of this elegant serpent handled tea service by Paul Storr was one of the most popular marketed by his firm, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. Such was the demand that Penzer (1954) recorded no fewer than nineteen examples of the hot water jug or coffee pot alone. The most prestigious goldsmiths of the age, they employed leading artists as designers and their craftsmen were highly skilled in all branches of the craft - raising, casting, chasing and engraving. Based on the ancient Roman oil lamp, its adaptation to the individual forms of a tea service was probably executed by the French painter and designer Jean-Jacques Boileau (1787-1851). His design for a very similar hot water jug or coffee pot is in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Boileau was in England at the time, having been employed by Henry Holland in the redecoration of Carlton House for the Prince of Wales. A similar service in the Gilbert Collection is fully discussed and illustrated Schroder (Timothy B), The Gilbert Collection of Gold and Silver, Los Angeles 1988, pp 371-7. An earlier hot water urn made by Paul Storr for the Duke of Manchester (London 1802) was sold, Christie`s, 16 March 1949, lot 38. It is illustrated Penzer (N M), Paul Storr, 1954, plt XVIII.
