In 1690, the citizens of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, incensed by a brutally unfair punishment pronounced by their magistrate, ran riot and tore down the magistrate’s house. This act became known as the 'Costerman revolt' or the 'Rotterdam Riot' and was commemorated in a cast medallion from which the plates, also ordered to commemorate the event, were painted. This is the first European historical/political event ever to be produced on Chinese export porcelain.
