A Chinese famille rose armorial cup and saucer with VOC coat of arms, dated 1728, Yongzheng Dia.: 10,5 cm (the saucer)H.: 3,5 cm - Dia.: 6,5 cm (the cup)The arms and motto belong to the Dutch Republic. The letters 'VOC are the cypher of the 'Verenigde Oost Indische Compagnie', the Dutch East India Company. The design has been accurately copied from one side of a silver coin, issued by the Company in 1728 for use in the Far East. Even the ribbed milling of the coin is imitated in the rim of the saucer and the inner rim of the cup. The tea service to which this cup and saucer belonged was arguably commissioned by the Company to commemorate the successful launch of its new coinage and may possibly have been used by its employee at the Company's different official bases throughout the Far East.See also:- The Victoria and Albert Museum, London (no. 645B&C-1907) (link)- The British Museum, London (Franks.797.+) (link)- Rob Michiels Auctions, Oct. 12 2015, for four sets from this service (Sold €9.945, €12.750, €10.200, €10.837,50) (link)- Christie's, New York, Jan. 24 2012, Sale 2528, Lot 105, for another cup and saucer of this service from the Peter H.B.

A rare Chinese blue and underglaze red bowl with carps and marine animals, Xuande mark, Kangxi Dia.: 19 cm - H.: 9 cmSee also:- A dish of this rare design in The Victoria and Albert Museum, W. G. Gulland bequest, C.355-1931, is illustrated by Rose Kerr in Chinese Ceramics, Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911, no. 55, p. 79, where the author notes, “It is painted with the leaping carp, a pattern with wide appeal owing to the association of the Chinese homophones for ‘abundance’ and ‘fish’. The reproductive powers of the fish may also explain its popularity as a peasant motif, while the jumping element is indicative of academic success. This is due to the story about the fish which swam up the Yellow river every year, and which on their way must leap up the dragon gate falls. Those that succeed in passing above the rapids are transformed into dragons.” Another dish of this design was included by Marchant in their exhibition of Seventeenth-Century Blue and White and Copper-Red and their Predecessors, 1997, no. 47, p. 49.- A bowl of this form bearing a Kangxi mark is illustrated in Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (III), The Complete Collection of Treasures of The Palace Museum, Beijing, Volume 36, no. 68, p. 78, and is also illustrated by Chen Run Min in Qing Dynasty Shunzhi and Kangxi Period, Underglaze Blue Porcelain in The Gugong Museum Collection, Beijing, 2005, no. 125, p. 204.- Sotheby's, Paris, June 12, 2013, lot 68, for a nearly identical bowl with a Kangxi mark.
