| Date | c. 1730-1740 |
| Description | Porcelain decorated with underglaze orange and brown, painted with enamels of rose, pink, yellow, white, and greens, with gilding. This plate is typical of the types of export porcelains that came to the American colonies, and Nantucket, by way of the British East India Company, Dutch New York, and the Caribbean prior to the American Revolution. It is also an example of one of the most successful and enduring of designs created for the export market. |
