Anton Lyncker, of Saxon origin, was granted citizenship of the city of The Hague in 1776 and founded a porcelain factory. At first, Lincker did not produce porcelain himself, but bought white or simply blue-decorated porcelain from other factories, mainly Ansbach and Tournai. This is the case of the pieces of our service, the porcelain and the blue on the edges made in Tournai, the painting and gilding done in The Hague, as well as the mark, a heron, a piece of furniture appearing on the coat of arms of the city of The Hague. An important part of a service with the same decoration sold in Paris in 2011 included a plate dated 1776 (Piasa, 9 December 2011, lot 50). A plate in the Museum of Decorative Arts in The Hague from a similar service is also dated 1776 (reproduced by C. Scholten, Haags porselein 1776-1790, 2,000, fig. 1, pp. 2 and 19). In 1778, the director of the Loosdrecht factory, Vicar De Mol, took Lincker to court, accusing him of unfair competition by putting his signature on pieces made elsewhere. During this trial, De Mol mentions the beautiful royal blueprints affixed by the Tournai factory.
