Specialist note

At least four related series of these dishes were ordered in the 1720's in China, and approximately twenty-three different arms are known, including those of Holland, England, France, Luxembourg, and of numerous Dutch and Flemish provinces and cities. Judging by the spelling of many of these dishes, it would appear they were all made to Dutch order.
