An important and large armorial plate in blu and white porcelain of the Portuguese Indian Companies dating: Kangxi (1662-1722) provenance: China Beautifully painted, featuring a medal enclosing at the inside a flower surrounded by two bands with concentric leaves, one on the medal and the other on the border, featuring an emblem belonging to the famous Italian Ginori family; the very fine border is moulded as a step; the base is on a wide, ring-shaped foot and features an underglaze mark shaped as a lingzhi mushroom painted in blue at the inside of a double circle. Small chips on the border.In the past, the emblem was attributed to the Caldeira Family (Castro 1987), particularly the emblem given to Andrè Caldeira in 1599, but today, thanks to some documents owned by the descendants of Ginorisi family, is attributed to the famous Florentine family. The embles of the two families are very similar, Castro mentions the Ginory Family and underlines the similarity of the two shields. The decoration has the style of the pieces made for the Portoguese market - this service was indeed ordered by Lorenzo Ginori when he was in Portugal. The armorial, white and blue plate of Coelho mentioned at the end of the notes family proves this similarity.
