Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The arms belong to the Amsterdam-based Snoek family and their emblem is a fish which in Dutch bears the same name. The Rococo rim border is unusual and probably derives from a Dutch design. It is found on two other services, one with designs illustrating the cultivation and manufacturing processes of tea, ginger and fruits (see BM Franks 587) and the other painted with a central scene of cockerels (see, for example, a plate in the China Trade Museum, Milton, Massachusetts, U.S.A.; Milton, 1982, no. 17). Other pieces from this dinner service include a plate in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Phillips, 1956, pl. 5); and another in the Mottahedeh collection (Howard and Ayers, 1978, vol. II, pl. 393), which also contains a 19th-century Japanese plate with the same arms but otherwise differently decorated, possibly in Holland (ibid., pl. 394).
