For the arms, see D. S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, London, 1974, p. 694. The scene depicts Hope gazing out to sea leaning on a shield bearing the coat-of-arms. The four cartouches at the border show the four known quarters of the globe: Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. A very similar plate from the Peter H. Frelinghuysen Jr. collection was sold in our New York rooms, 24 January 2012, lot 30.
