Lot Essay

The arms are those of the Dutch family De Jonge, who ordered a large dinner service with their coat-of-arms. Several exceptional pieces in this service are known, such as cruets on a stand, candlesticks, oblong salt cellars and monteiths. For a discussion of porcelain with these coat-of-arms see Dr. J. Kroes, Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch market, Zwolle, 2007, pp. 198-199.
