This dining plate is a good example of the 19th-century service ware that was produced in large quantities for the Islamic market in South-East Asia. Frederik Regout's earthenware factory in Maastricht used many decorations for the export market which were meant to appeal to Asian consumers.
This plate is decorated with a printed decoration known as Flora. In the middle there is a Malaysian inscription in Arabic. The company's stamp can be found underneath the plate, and under it in a box: F. REGOUT & Co MAASTRICHT, and under that: Flora Made in Holland.
