A Chinese Kangxi (1662-1722) porcelain Imari-style armorial wedding plate for the Dutch market, with the coat of arms of the family ‘Sautijn’ / ‘Sautyn’ (left) and an unidentified coat of arms. This is an example of one of the early objects that is typically ordered on command by (in this case) Dutch households.
Export type ‘chine de commande’ plates were already made for the Portuguese during the 16th and 17th centuries, but on a very small scale. Throughout the 18th century, it becomes more popular and common although it was mostly done for the wealthiest Western families of Europe. In the mid to later 18th century the decoration of armorial porcelain developed from filling up the central panel to a more sophisticated decoration where the coat of arms only fills the border.
Into the 19th century, it became common to only use small initials or to have the family coat of arms integrated into a standard pattern instead. It was by this time also more accessible and common for the higher class families.
This plate is an example of such an early and more rare 18th century armorial plate. Mostly we see ‘typical’ armorial plates in the Yongzheng (1722-1735) and Qianlong (1735-1796) period.
