Specialist note

The drawing for this design was the first Pronk made for the Dutch East India Company and was sent in 1734 to both China and Japan to be copied onto porcelain. See C.J.A. Jörg, Pronk Porcelain, Groningen, 1980, pp. 14-28, and pp. 61-73, for a full discussion on this design. The original drawing is now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
