According to Nishida Hiroko, the ships depicted here are originally based on the Dutch ships of around 1700 and the hairstyle and dress of the Dutchmen are more likely from the mid-18th century. The design of the Dutch ships and Dutchmen was popular in the Imari ware and such bowls were produced through 18th and 19th centuries. For more about this design, see Goto Shigeki ed., Sekai toji zenshu [Collection of world's ceramics], vol. 8, Edo (3), (Tokyo, 1978), p. 70.
