拍品專文

The arms are most certainly of Swythen; the impaled arms are not recorded and without a recorded mention of Swythen it remains difficult to make a decision on the impaled coat. For a further discussion on the impaling arms, please see David Sanctuary Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, volume II, page 243.
