Comments:Published PDF date : Qing early 18thC Room 95 label text:PDF A802Tea cup and saucer with coat of arms This teacup and saucer were made for the Dutch East India Company. The design is composed of a crowned coat of arms supported by two crowned lions rampant, below which is the monogram ‘VOC’ framed by scrollwork, all painted in rose-pink, red, yellow and green enamels. Encircling this design is the date 1728 and the Latin motto ‘CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT’ (‘small things grow great in unity’). The rim of the saucer and inner lip of the cup are painted with close parallel brush-strokes in iron-red under a narrow pink band to imitate the milling on a coin. The tea service to which this cup and saucer belonged was arguably commissioned by the Dutch East India Company to commemorate the successful launch of its new coinage and may possibly have been used by its employees at the Company’s different official bases throughout the Far East.Porcelain with fencai (powdered colours)Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Qing dynasty, about AD 1728-9 PDF A802紋章瓷茶杯及碟這件茶杯和杯碟是為荷蘭東印度公司製作的。圖案包括一枚上有皇冠的盾形紋章，被兩隻后腿站立的帶冠獅子托舉，紋章下是東印度公司名稱的第一個字母組合VOC，外圍卷草紋。圖案全以玫瑰粉、紅、黃和綠色彩繪製。主體圖案以外環繞紀年1728，以及拉丁箴言“若能團結協力，小事可變偉大”。杯碟的口沿和茶杯的內沿用紅彩繪以密集平行短線，上面覆以一周粉色窄環，模仿硬幣邊緣的溝槽。盡管無法肯定，這套杯碟所屬的茶具，有可能是荷蘭東印度公司訂製的，以慶祝其新鑄幣的成功發行，并可能曾被其雇員在遠東的各處不同官方基地都有使用。瓷器，粉彩（粉狀彩料）江西省景德鎮清代，約1728-1729年
