Descriptif du lot

A plate from this service is illustrated in D. Howard and J. Ayers, China for the West, London and New York, 1978, II, p. 452, no. 458. Howard and Ayers note that Giuilio Visconti was created a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1721, and that he spent around seven years of the 1720s in the Netherlands, where he likely commissioned the service.
