Plate with the Amsterdam coat of arms

anonymous, c. 1730 - c. 1740

The quality of this plate is superb. The porcelain is extremely thin, and the back is covered entirely with a ruby-pink glaze (ruby back). The front is decorated with painstakingly painted floral motifs and a geometric pattern. A fairly small Amsterdam coat of arms is depicted in the rim at the top.
