Dia.: 26 cm

Provenance: A Dutch private collection.  

In 1734, the Dutch East India Company commissioned Cornelis Pronk to produce designs for a set of China plates. This porcelain, so-called Chine de commande, was produced in China, then shipped to Europe and sold there. Pronk made four different designs. The Dutch East India Company ended the deal in 1740 because the production and shipping from China proved too costly.
