The arms are probably those of Arundel.
As Subordinate Goldsmith to the King, John Hugh Le Sage was the maker of much of the Royal plate. Other Royal pieces by him are a tea-table or large salver made as part of the Indenture Plate used by Lord Tweedale as Secretary of State for Scotland (Christie's, New York, 23 October 2000, lot 460), a cup and cover from the same commission, (Sotheby's, London, 29 November 2006, lot 73) and an extensive dinner service for the 2nd Earl of Stair's embassy to the Hague in 1742. There are numerous references to him in the Goldsmith entries in the day book of the Jewel House (Public Record Office Mss. LC9/45) - for example on 14 September 1748 he was sent from St James's Palace three silver tables and six stands, sixteen looking-glass frames, sixteen various wall sconces and a quantity of fire-dogs and andirons, all for repair.
