Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear.; VERY HARD TO FIND.; In the 18th century interest in Chine de Commande, Chinese porcelain made to special order for Europeans was considerable. Porcelain decorated with coats of arms was particularly popular. For the Dutch market between 600-700 fine services with the arms of Dutch families are made, of which some 500 services are described in this book.

Moreover, the Dutch ordered armorial porcelain bearing arms of provinces and cities as well as a lot of monogrammed services. A surveying publication about Chinese armorial porcelain for the Dutch market is lacking up to now. The aim of this publication is a reference book written in English, containing a description of c. 500 Chinese servic.…
