12/31/87 appraisal page 58 Masterson & O'Connell valued 10 cups at $1800. The references to Capt. Dean's association with this set must have been made by Mrs. Browne since it appears in the account books made at the time of purchase. Similar pieces, part of a coffee service, are held in the collection of The Albany Institute of Arts.
