About this work

The gold decoration on this dish shows the crowned symmetrical monogram of Johan van Hoorn and Susanna Agneta van Outhoorn who married in Batavia in 1691. The monogram is upside-down. Dutch employees of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) could order Japanese lacquerware from the Dutch trading post on the Deshima peninsula in Japan.
