    Hi all! I believe this is a late 19th/early 20th Century Chinese Imari dish. Not sure if it is depicting the porcelain trade between Dutch merchants of different geographies or trade between Dutch and eastern traders. I'm pretty sure the center image is a Dutch trading ship/ vessel. Thanks for any help/info on this one. I'm especially interested in hearing from experts on the enamels, glazes, etc, age, and possible retail.

    Are you sure it is Chinese, and not Japanese?
    Love the ship, and very cute those grumpy looking Dutchmen. I think all of them are meant to represent officials of the VOC or Dutch East India Company, who were stationed on Deshima.

    Very nice dish and definitely Japanese with Namban or black ship design. I think it might be a little older, maybe mid 19thc. I agree with Any Jewelry as to the Dutchmen shown.
