About the Item
China, circa 1730
Porcelain decorated in rose-pink, yellow and soft blue- green enamels, on a shield a lion rampant crowned, holding in his left paw a bunch of seven arrows symbolising the seven provinces of the United Netherlands, and in his right paw a sword, the whole supported by two lions rampant and crowned. Below the monogram of the VOC, above the date 1728 and surrounding the inscription CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT (unity makes small things grow), the heraldic motto of the Dutch Republic.
H. 14.5 cm (teapot)
Diam. 13.5 cm (saucer)
Provenance:
Private collection, the Netherlands; thence by descent
Executed in rose-pink, yellow, and soft blue-green enamels, this design follows a silver ducatoon of 1728 in almost every aspect, with even the rim of the plate imitating the ribbed milling of the coin. On a shield is a crowned rampant lion, holding in his left paw a bunch of seven arrows symbolising the seven provinces of the United Netherlands, and in his right paw, a sword is shown supported by two crowned rampant lions. Below the shield is the monogram of the VOC, the Dutch East India Company, above the date 1728, and around it is the heraldic motto of the Dutch Republic CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT (by unity small things grow).
Other pieces from this service include cups and saucers in the V&A Museum, London, in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands, and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; a plate in the Mottahedeh collection; a plate, teapot, cup and saucer at the Musees Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire, Brussels, Belgium; a teapot without lid in
the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (Lunsingh Scheurleer, 1974, , and a teapot in the Africana Museum, Johannesburg, South Africa ).
Until recently, this type of porcelain was attributed to Chinese kilns, but it is more likely Japanese. This could solve the debate on whether these dishes are modern Chinese forgeries. One has been found in the old Japanese Shibata collection and can be found in the , which
makes the latter impossible. After discussing it with many colleagues in the China trade porcelain business, as well as collectors and curators, this conclusion seems to fit. The enamel’s hues and the porcelain’s colour are, after all, more Japanese than Chinese.
Lastly, this type of porcelain has always been described as rather early chine de commande. However, there wasn’t a lot of trade between the Dutch and China in the 1730s, and the trade in porcelain, lacquer and other goods with Japan was far more lucrative for the VOC.
A near identical dish was in the Ann & Gordon Getty collection, purchased by them in 1985 at Christie’s, London, 12 November 1985.
