Although produced in England, the Staffordshired china shown depicts the New Jersey residence of the late Richard Jordan, a Quaker preacher in Newton, Burlington Country (near Camden).
Born in 1756, Jordan was one of the first Quakers to publicly campaign against the holding of slaves. After traveling extensively on the east coast and in Europe, he published a travel journal that gave him a degree of fame in the eastern United States.
In 1809 Jordan joined the Newton, New Jersey Quaker Meeting and settled on a small farm in what is now Camden, where he died in 1826. During the last year of his life, Jordan was sketched standing in front of his farm by this friend, William Mason, a Philadelphia drawing teacher. The china service was ordered by friends of the preacher after his death.
