A Chinese verte biscuit armorial sweetmeat dish with the arms of Johannes Camphuys, VOC governor of Batavia, Kangxi
Dim.: 12,5 x 12 cm See also: Peabody Essex Museum, Inv. AE85686.A-I, for a complete set with this design. ( link ) It states: "... painted in yellow, green and aubergine glazes with a shield containing an elaborate coat of arms of Johannes van Camphuys, Governor General of the VOC in Batavia from 1641-1691. The set is composed of a central star-shaped dish surrounded by eight matching petal-shaped dishes, each decorated in translucent green, purple, yellow and black overglaze enamels. Most likely, the set originally had a shaped under-dish into which all nine pieces fit. This is believed to be the earliest Chinese armorial enameled porcelain ordered by a VOC commissioner."
