Dimensions: 5 1/2 inches high x 3 3/4 inches diameter; (13.97cm high x 6.99cm diameter) Provenance: The Collection of Benjamin Edwards III. This was sold in January 22, 2002 at the Benjamin Edwards III Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain, Lot 169. Paper label inside cover with B.F. Edwards Collection label with collection no. 1608 and purchase date of 1982. Reference: "Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch Market", Dr. Jochem Kroes, Page 309-310, #226, for the spoon tray with the same design (now owned by Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge) The author suggests while the service could have been order by the Prince it is more probable that it was ordered by one of his supporters celebrating the election of Prince Willem IV to the office of stadhouder or Stadholder of the United Provinces of the. Netherlands. Before that he was already Stadholder of Friesland, Groningen, Gelderland and Drenthe, but in 1747 this office was restored to the House of Orange for all the Dutch provinces and declared permanently hereditary. Many Orangist families were interested in ordering such sets and there were great celebrations in both the Netherlands and Batavia.
