She was the elder daughter of heiress Edwina Ashley, a patrilineal descendant of the Earls of Shaftesbury, first ennobled in 1661, and Admiral of the Fleet the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Lady Mountbatten succeeded her father when he was assassinated in 1979, as his peerages had been created with special remainder to his daughters and their heirs.Dishes decorated in the famille verte palette with elegantly-dressed women in gardens were popular during the Kangxi period. Dishes of this type appear to represent the idealised concept of a cultured lady instead of a historical person, although the motifs were probably inspired by popular stories, paintings and prints.
