Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The arms belong to Prince William V of Holland (1748-1806) and his wife, Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia (1751-1820). The service to which this plate belonged was ordered by Ulrich Gualtherus Hemmingson, a director of the Dutch factory at Canton, and presented to Princess Wilhelmina, upon his return to Holland in 1791 (Jorg, 1982, p. 131). The design appears on a portrait of Princess Wilhelmina, engraved by Vinkeles (1741-1816) after P.C. Haag (1737-1812), illustrated by Lunsingh Scheurleer (1966, pl. 155). Various tureens, sauceboats, salts and a mustard pot and spoon of this service are preserved, some in the collection of H.M. the Queen of the Netherlands (Jorg, 1982, pl. 52), others in the Paleis Noordeinde, Den Haag, Netherlands (Lunsingh Scheurleer, 1966, pls. 154 and 156).
