CHINA Large round porcelain dish with blue, red, green, pink and gold decoration in the center of the arms of the province of Hainaut Henegouwes in a shield accompanied by the inscription HENEGOUWES in a banner, surmounted by a crown and flanked by two figures of Chinese women standing in a portico, the wing decorated with prunus in bloom and lively lake landscapes in reserves on a trellis background. Yongzheng period (1722-1733), circa 1725 D. 44,5 cm. A piece glued on the edge and a crack. BIBLIOGRAPHY C. Le Corbeiller, China Trade Porcelain: Patterns of Exchange, 1974, pp. 38-39. M. Beurdeley, Porcelain of the Compagnie des Indes, 1962, n° 64, p. 96. W.R. Sargent, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics from the Peabody Essex Museum, 2012. Four sets of dishes, plates, or beard dishes, decorated with the coats of arms of the major cities and provinces of the United Netherlands, but also of France and England were made in China in the 1720s. Thirty-three different coats of arms are now recorded. Clare Le Corbeiller has suggested that these dishes were commissioned to commemorate the Triple Alliance between Holland, France and England in 1717. Our dish with the Chinese figures decorated in the famille-rose palette is part of the most elaborate series, dated around 1725. A dish of the same series bearing the inscription Holland was recently sold with the Etude Pescheteau-Badin (Paris sale, December 13, 2019, lot 236), another with the inscription Artoys at Sotheby's Paris, (sale December 17, 2014, lot 311)
