Description:
One of a set of four Chinese export porcelain plates decorated in blue, gold, green, red with "Libertas" in a ribbon scroll over the monograms "JC" "EJ" flanked by acanthus leaves. To date, a Codmas family of Boston has not been identified, nor is there a member of the prominent Codman family of Boston (if Cadmas was a typo) that married a "EJ" during the period that this service was made. There was a Codmas family listed as land owners in Essex County, New Jersey, starting in the mid 18th century, but no infomation is currently known about them. See also the teaset from the same set (HD 66.105).
