Comments:Plate from a porcelain dinner service which was ordered with the coat of arms of Joan Van der Linden Van Slingelandt. He was from Dordrecht, The Netherlands, and worked as an iron merchant and minter becoming wealthy enough to collect art and to commission two dinner services from China with his family coat of arms (Van der Linden quartering Van Slingeland). This blue-and-white service was made in Jingdezhen about 1740-1745. After shipping to Holland, between 1745 and 1755, porcelain decorators added the low-fired, iron-red designs onto the service. Such dinner sets may have comprised many dozens of items in different shapes. One similar plate is in the Winterthur’s collection (see http://nadlerchineseporcelain.winterthur.org/european-decoration/ ) Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks collected this plate as part of a vast assemblage of different Chinese armorial porcelains and presented it to the British Museum in 1876.
