Chinese export armorial porcelain plate, Qianlong ca. 1745. Coat-of-arms of Van Reverhorst with coronet and crest, surrounded by smaller arms of the families Van Reverhorst, De Winter, Vereyck and De Bruyn to the left, and Schrevelius, Peenen, Groenedijk and de Vroede to the right. Rococo gilt shell and scroll band along the rim. Illustrated in Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 92, no. 81. Provenance: Christie's, London, "Important Chinese Export Porcelain," 14 November 1984, Lot 428; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Le Corbeiller, "China Trade Porcelain," pg. 97-99, no. 40. Lot Essay: The Reverhorst coat of arms is thought to refer to Theodorus van Reverhorst (1706-58) who was a member of the V.O.C.'s Council of Justice at Batavia. The surrounding coat of arms are presumably allied families: Schrevelius was the maiden name of Reverhorst's mother, who was perhaps the daughter of the Burgomaster of Leiden, Theodorus Schrevelius, whose wife Elisabeth's maiden name was Van Peene. There were also likely family ties to the De Bruyns, who owned pieces of this set up until the early 20th century. An identical plate is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Accession no. 60.149.2). Diameter: 9 1/4 in.
