Lot Essay

The present basin belongs to the famed series of dishes made with the arms of Holland, England, France, Luxembourg, and numerous Dutch and Flemish provinces and cities. Twenty-three different arms seem to comprise each complete series. The sets vary from small famille verte dishes to large famille verte dishes to barber's basins to rose-verte dishes. Judging by the spelling of the names, it is likely that they were made to Dutch order.
