Chinese Export Porcelain American Market Blue & White New Mexico Dish

About the Item

Chinese Export American market blue & white new Mexico charger, Xianfeng Era, Mid-19th century The Chinese Export porcelain dish is associated with New Mexico, probably made at a provincial kilns as a special order. Thickly potted, and painted in underglaze blue possibly in imitation of a late seventeenth century style. The reverse has a celadon glaze, . The ware is almost certainly provincial. The central eagle is very rare, but is similar to the Napoleonic eagle on coins of the period (but with fasces); the Mexican eagle (with leafy branch); and the Seal of New Mexico, which has two eagles (a small one below the other’s wing) and the principal eagle in exactly this stance, holding in its claw three arrows. The motto over the eagle is indeciphe able, but if viewed upside down reveals the letters ‘DSERIETC’. It is a remarkable coincidence that all these letters occur in the New Mexico motto ‘Crescit Eundo’. The eagle appears to be executed in the style of needlework stitches, particularly on its neck, tail, and wings, and also on the flowers near the rim. The border, too, could have been copied from the binding stitching on the edge of a flag or badge. There seems good reason to suggest that this charger may have commemorated the joining of the State of New Mexico with the Union in 1850. New Mexico was subsequently enlarged by the Gadsden Purchase of 1854 and reduced in 1863 by the detachment of what is now the State of Arizona, while in 1867 a further part was added to Colorado. It is not clear at exactly what date the present seal was adopted – certainly it was in use before the end of the nineteenth century – but it is more likely that this unusual piece could have been derived from a flag of the State, or a piece of commemorative needlework. Reference: Howard & Ayers "China for the West," vol. II, p.512, fig.521.
