Note du spécialiste

Several members of the influential Valckenier family of Amsterdam were senior in the Dutch East India Company and ordered armorial porcelain, the leading example being Adriaan Valckenier, Governor-General of the Indies 1737-41. See C.J.A. Jörg, Chinese Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum, p. 303.
