Comments:Harrison-Hall & Krahl 1994:The portrait depicts Queen Juliana Maria, wife of King Frederick V of Denmark (r. 1746-66), whom he married in 1752; the initials are probably ‘J M’. The ship carries the Danish flag. Another dish of this service is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Hervouet and Bruneau, 1986, no. 14.25); for another service made for Juliana Maria, see BM Franks. 612; compare also a dish with related design, dated to 1763 (BM Franks. 891+). Trays of this form were used as supports for teapots.
