Description:
Chinese export porcelain sauceboat decorated in the Famille rose palette in pink, purple, green, turquoise, yellow, orange-red, blue and gilding. The decoration with its randon floral sprays is often called the “Thistle” or “Chrysanthemum” pattern. The original design source remains unknown, but pieces of Marseille faience (tin-glazed earthenware) manufactured around 1760 are found in a similar pattern. Regardless of its origins, this decoration achieved great popularity throughout Europe, particularly in Scandinavia and Germany. Plates with this same design were owned by Samuel (1739-1820) and Judith Verplanck, a prominent family in 18th-century New York City who lived at 3 Wall Street from 1763-1803.
