Now: Chinese Export Jewish Armorial Rectangular Platter Hananel Mendes De Costa Portugal Jews

This famous plate it's in a whole bunch of newspapers across the world, it was found by me on a Goodwill cart. Pristine condition.

My excitement at Goodwill when I found this on their cart it's a Chinese Export Jewish Armorial Rectangular Platter 18th century. What makes this stand out from regular 18th century platters would be that it's Jewish and only rich people ordered these hand-painted dinnerware from China. It's a crest from the most famous Jewish family in England and Portugal during the 17th - 18th century. Purchased by Hananel Mendes De Costa in 1755. They fetch a much bigger dollar because only a few Jewish families were wealthy during the Diaspora of the 17th 18th centuries. Includes Mendes De Costa family initials pristine. Many people not only perceive broken bones in the middle of the crest they also see 6 male phallus. They are meant to be bones unless they had been purposely designed to resemble the male part.
