<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Yap, post: 4327314, member: 18699&quot;]Well, as I said in my last post, dating is most definitely my Achilles’ heel, but nevertheless I seem fond of making a fool of myself, so I have been trying to date pieces not only by reign, but by year! In so doing, I was hoping to show a flow and evolution of design and enamelling not as reign-constricted, but as a constant flow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have attributed 2 pieces to the Dutch East Indies. The photo is here in my blog as it is too large to be attached: <a href="https://bbddduck.wixsite.com/website/post/the-ambiguity-of-perception" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://bbddduck.wixsite.com/website/post/the-ambiguity-of-perception" rel="nofollow">https://bbddduck.wixsite.com/website/post/the-ambiguity-of-perception</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have dated the covered pot to c.1890 and the platter maybe a little later. They both look to me more Dutch Indonesian than Straits Settlements.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any opinions when you have stopped laughing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Wishing you all a lovely weekend,</p><p>Ken.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
