Specialist note

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.
