This circular dish, made around 1692-1699 by an anonymous artist, is a prime example of the Rococo style. It features a black background with intricate gold detailing, a design typical of the period. The intricate, flowing designs cover the entire surface of the dish, creating a sense of opulence and grandeur. The dish is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the time, and it is a reminder of the beauty and artistry of the Rococo era. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the decorative arts of the 17th century.

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.
