The arms are those of Van Ertborn. It was probably ordered by Francois-Emmanuel van Ertborn (1716-1791). He was the first Director of the Prussian East India Company founded in Emden. As this service is of a single coat-of-arms, it is presumed he ordered it between his two marriages between 1751 and 1753. See H. Maertens de Noordhout, Porcelaines Chinoises "Compagnie des Indes" dcores d'Armoiries Belges, 1997, p. 90-91.
