Note du spécialiste

This resting point midway though the six-month trip between Europe and Guangzhou (Canton) was a familiar sight to both Portuguese and Dutch traders. Shown is the Dutch fleet that took control of the territory in 1652. For a discussion of this motif, see C. Le Corbeiller, China Trade Porcelain: Patterns of Exchange, New York, 1974, pp. 84-85, no. 33; an example in the Benjamin F. Edwards III Collection was sold at Christie's, New York, 26 January 2010, lot 7.
