Lot Essay

Probably ordered by the Van Overveldt family of The Hague. See Dr. J. Kroes, Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch Market, p. 115, where he notes, "In view of the extraordinarily large size and rich decoration of the chargers the actual commissioner must have been very wealthy." The significance of 'PAMEN' is unknown.
