Catalogue Note
It has been long considered that plates and dishes of this type were used as a form of advertisement by workshops to show the variety of good these manufactured or wished to sell.
An almost identical example from the Dr. Anton C.R. Dreesmann collection was sold at Christie's Amsterdam, 16th April 2002, lot 1292. A yellow ground plaque depicting the same central motif, marked for the De Grieksche A factory is illustrated by M.S. van Aaken-Fehmers, op. cit., p. 148; where also illustrated is a is related large yellow ground charger from the Rijksmuseum, similarly decorated with a central five vase garniture, though more densely surrounded by smaller vases, teapots, jugs and dishes, as well as domestic household objects such as ladders, pictures, tables, cradles, which suggests that it may indeed have been a form of advertisement, ob. no. BK-NM-12400-194.
