A FAMILLE ROSE PLATE, enamelled at the centre with a ´mahout´ on his elephant holding a whip in his right hand, within four floral pink enamel and gilt sprigs, made for the European colonial market in India, Qianlong period (1736-1795), diameter c. 23 cm
PROVENANCE: The collection of Göran Nilsson
NOTE:
The plate was made for the European colonial market in India, where the East India ships would stop on their long journey between Western Europe and Canton. This market grew as the colonies in India became more established and settled by wealthy European administrators. These items would have been supplied by the private traders on the ships, most likely, in this case, of the English East India Company.
