Lot Essay

On loan in the Groninger Museum, Groningen, is an Imari service decorated with the van Buren coat-of-arms. Amongst the collection is one saucer decorated in the same style with the arms of van Brederode impaling van Buren. In 1702 Ida Maria van Buren married Joan van Brederode, and the above dishes form part of this rare service ordered around the same period. The rim design above follows exactly that of the dishes in the van Buren service.

For an example of the van Buren service and the saucer from the Ida Maria van Buren service, refer Dr. C.J.A. Jorg, Interactions in Ceramics Oriental Porcelain and Delftware, Hong Kong 1984, pl. 85 and 85a.
