Two (2) Kangxi Imari armorial chargers for the French Market, octagonal form, each having a central coat-of-arms below a red banner reading "CORBEAU," with a wide border of four vignettes depicting cranes, flowering trees, and foo dogs or lions, surrounded by scrolling foliate decorations on a blue ground. Unsigned. 1 5/8" H x 10 1/2" dia. Circa 1710. Note: These dishes were likely made for the Corbel or Corbet family of France and England; Corbet derives from the Anglo-Norman word corb, meaning "crow", matching the modern French Corbeau. (source: Hanks, Patrick Hanks, et al., The Oxford Names Companion, Oxford University Press, 2002).
