Comments:Harrison-Hall 1994:The set is exquisitely painted, the fruit and flower sprays in the style characteristic of porcelain from the Yongzheng period (1723-35). Silver, which has in the course of time tarnished to a silvery black, was rarely used on later export porcelain. The coat of arms belong to the Dux family of Belgium. Sets of cups and saucers were generally sold in this way in the 18th century, with one saucer serving both cups.See Howard 1974; p. 231 for a saucer.
