清乾隆 外銷粉彩繪族徽紋湯盆及托盤一對
The double-shell shape of the present tureens is based on a model by Joshua Wedgwood which was itself inspired by a Sevres model, to which Wedgwood added a double-shell cover. Compare with a similar double-shell tureen, cover and stand, with arms attributed to Francisco Piar y Lottyn, Qianlong circa 1773, illustrated by R.Diaz, Chinese Armorial Porcelain for Spain, London, 2010, pp.230-231, no.33. Another double-shell tureen, cover and stand, with the arms of Pedro III, mid 18th century, in the Castle of Queluz, Portugal, is illustrated by M.Beurdeley, Porcelain of the East India Companies, London, 1962, p.71, pl.xv.
