The view of this pattern is thought to depict the Dutch coastal town Scheveningen, possibly inspired by a Dutch Delft plate by the pottery painter Frederick van Frytom (1652-1702). This scene has also been referred to as Deshima Island, near Nagasaki, which was the V.O.C.'s headquarters in Japan from 1641-1862, but considering the stylistic similarities with the Delft prototypes and the characteristically Dutch details of the scene, this seems unlikely. The dishes were ordered both in China during the Kangxi period and in Japan in the mid 18th Century. Several examples of Van Frytom drawings for Delft pottery seem to have been used by the Japanese potters.
