The design of the ship in full sail with the Dutch flag celebrates the journey of a Dutch East Indian Company ship to China, and the inscription informs us that the dish was made for its captain Jacob Ryzik. \r\n\r\nIn the 18th century Europeans greatly admired the white and resistant body of Chinese porcelain, available at low cost, but in addition to traditional shapes and designs, they also ordered tableware and household objects made in imitation of western items or with specific decorative motifs, including coat of arms, monograms and inscriptions. The East India trading companies supplied Chinese potters of models and patterns to copy.","physicalDescription":"Circular, with shallow well and and wide, flat rim;  painted in the middle with a three-masted ship in full sail, flying the Dutch flag and pennants; round the well is a border of cresting in red and gold; on the rim, in an oval panel outlined in pale blue foliate scrolls with a ribbon under a red and gold crown is an inscription; at the edge is a narrow border of small crowded foliage and flowers.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"porcelain","id":"AAT10662"}],"techniques":[{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"},{"text":"enamelled","id":"x30139"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Porcelain painted in polychrome enamels","categories":[{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"},{"text":"Household objects","id":"THES48939"}],"styles":[{"text":"Qing","id":"AAT18478"},{"text":"Qianlong","id":"AAT18486"},{"text":"Chinese export","id":"AAT120350"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"EAS","id":"THES48596"},"images":["2009CC9020","2006AM8530","2019LY0732"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"145 (VA)","id":"THES49865"},"free":"","case":"21","shelf":"3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"PLATE","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"China","id":"x29398"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1756","earliest":"1756-01-01","latest":"1756-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"32.07","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Inscription on the rim\r\nT: SCMIP: VRYBVRG\r\nCEVOERTDOORCAPITEYN\r\nI ACOB, RYZIK\r\nINCHINA INT\r\nIAAR. 1756.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"On the rim","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Inscription; decoration","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Porcelain dish, decorated in polychrome enamels with a ship flying the Dutch flag and an inscription, Jingdezhen, China, Qing dynasty, 1756","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"ship","id":"AAT82981"},{"text":"crown","id":"AAT46020"},{"text":"foliage","id":"AAT165387"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Dutch East India Company cup,\r\nsaucer and plate\r\nChina, (37) 1728; (38) 1756\r\nThe cup and saucer carry the symbol\r\nof the Dutch East India Company, while\r\nthe plate shows one of their ships.\r\nMuseum nos. 645&A-1907, given by Julia C.
