Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The coat of arms is that of the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands; the lions are comically depicted, with almost human faces. The dish is unusual in its well-painted flower designs and particularly in having a ruby-pink enamelled reverse . Both features are characteristic of porcelains of the Yongzheng period (1723-35), and the enamelled reverse in particular is very seldom found on armorial wares. Another dish of this design is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (Lunsingh Scheurleer, 1966, pl. 259).
