It states: "... painted in yellow, green and aubergine glazes with a shield containing an elaborate coat of arms of Johannes van Camphuys, Governor General of the VOC in Batavia from 1641-1691. The set is composed of a central star-shaped dish surrounded by eight matching petal-shaped dishes, each decorated in translucent green, purple, yellow and black overglaze enamels. Most likely, the set originally had a shaped under-dish into which all nine pieces fit. This is believed to be the earliest Chinese armorial enameled porcelain ordered by a VOC commissioner."
