Historical Significance:
The dish reflects the rich history of Macau as a crucial hub for international trade, particularly with Portugal, since the 16th century.
In the 1930s and 40s, Macau served as a neutral refuge during conflicts, further enriching its cultural and historical significance.
By the mid-19th century, Macaus prominence in trade waned as Hong Kong rose, but it remained a significant cultural and historical enclave.
Macau transitioned to Chinese sovereignty in 1999, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter under China as a special administrative region.
Collector's Note: This piece is a valuable addition to collections of vintage Asian porcelain, representing a unique blend of Chinese artistry and Macaus historical legacy.
