The latter drawn up on the instructions of King George II following the death of his father King George I (1660-1727), had become incomplete due to a lack of descriptions as well as groupings and additions. An Additamentum of 1730 lists various inheritances of George II, including the 'travelling silver' and other silver from his father King George I, his mother Sophie Dorothea, Princess von Ahlden (1666-1726), his uncle Ernst August, Duke of York and Albany, Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück (1674-1728), and the silver furniture of his grandmother, Electress Sophie (1630-1714). The inventory of 1747 re-organised all the silverware to create six dinner services classified according to the number of place settings and named by the letters A to F. The table silver, which includes dinner plates, dishes, knives, forks and spoons, candlesticks, castors, sauce boats and other serving pieces, is complemented by sideboard silver, such as salt cellars, wine fountains, cisterns, ewers and basins. The Service A consisted of the Osnabrück A service, comprising silver for three sets of table and buffet known as A, B and C, as well as silver furniture and lighting pieces made between 1708 and 1728 by the Hanoverian court silversmiths Hölling, Huntemann, Dedeke and Mundt (Hanover) and Sander (Celle). The Service B included the "English service" dated 1728 and was largely cast for the new George III service made by Robert-Joseph Auguste and other silversmiths in Paris, and Frantz Peter Bunsen and others in Hanover. The remainder was divided after 1841 between other services and replaced by the Hardenberg service (formerly service G) The Service C was the Osnabrück service C with additions from the Osnabrück service B, and was executed mainly by the Osnabrück silversmith Vogdt, with elements by Morell and Prüsmann. The Service D was an amalgam of two former services, the 1st and the Campagne service (for journeys to the countryside) engraved with the same coat of arms and the initials G(eorge) L(ouis) C(hurfürst). The arms are those of George Louis, Elector of Hanover, later George I, King of Great Britain and Ireland (1660-1714), in force for a short period between 1692, when his father was created First Elector of Hanover, and 1708, when George Louis himself was introduced into the College of Electors. Additions were made to this service and the next in 1724/25, and these pieces were engraved with the same coat of arms, which had by then expired. The Service E, called 2nd service in the 1728 inventory, was identical to service D, except that the dishes and plates had borders and the coat of arms was not flanked by palms. The Service F was used for hunting and came from services 4 and 5 of the estate of Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover (1629-1698). Most of this stock was melted down, improved and used in other services. This tazza is part of service E.
