The inscription reads wazir al-mamalik amin al-dawla bahadur (Vizier of the Kingdom, Right (arm) of the State, Bahadur) and this service may well have been made for Bahadur Shah II (1775-1862), the last Mughal Emperor of India (see David S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, vol. II, London, 1003, p. 695). A plate from the Mottahedeh Collection, is illustrated by Howard and Ayers, China for the West, London and New York, 1978, vol. II, p. 475.
