Company of the Indies porcelain fountain emblazoned with enamels of the Rose Family, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period (1736-95) with the arms of José Raón y Gutierrez ca. 1769. The arms of José Raón appear on the seat with a marquis crown and on the rim a band of scallops and rocaille decoration enhanced in pink and gold. Pieces of this tableware are conserved in the Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid and in the Museum of Ancient Art of Lisbon. A dish from this service is illustrated in David Howard "Made in China-Export Porcelain from the Leo an Doris Hodroff Collection of Winterthur (2005, p 73, no 35) which was sold at Christie's NYC in The Hodroff Collection. Part III. January 21, 2009 lot 269. Another plate belonging to the Tibor Collection was sold at Christie's NYC in The Tibor Collection. Part II. January 23, 2020 lot 269. This piece belonging to a private Spanish collection appears reproduced in Rocio Diaz's book "Porcelana China para España", ed. Jorge Welsh Books pp176 nº 21 ill 21b. Rocio Diaz places the ware around 1769 by comparison with the wares of Jose de Soroa and Cayetano Pignatelli (chap. 19 and 20 of her book) which have the same rim decoration. When José Raón's son presented himself for the trials to obtain the habit of knighthood of the Order of Santiago, the arms of the Raón family are described and mention is made of this tableware that belonged to his father, so there is no doubt as to its provenance. José Raón was born in Calahorra (La Rioja) in 1703. Appointed field marshal and governor of Panama, he received a new post in the Philippines in 1765, as governor, captain general and president of the Royal Court of the Philippines. The crockery must have been commissioned during his stay in Manila. In 1767 Charles III decreed the expulsion of the members of the Society of Jesus from all Spanish territory, and the order arrived in the Philippines a year later. José Raón leaked the secret to the Society of Jesus in exchange for a large sum of money. In 1770, Simón de Anda y Salazar took office as governor and ordered the arrest of Raón and his son, placed them under house arrest and confiscated their goods for having prematurely revealed the expulsion decree. In 1773, José Raón died in Manila. Size: 29 x 39,5 cm
