Anton Lyncker, a German merchant, and his son ran a porcelain decorating workshop at The Hague from about 1776, when Lyncker became a citizen of the city. Although Lyncker described himself as a porcelain manufacturer, no evidence has been found to support this. He imported soft-paste porcelain from Tournai and hard-paste from Ansbach which he and his employees decorated. After Lyncker's death in 1781, the firm continued under the direction of his widow until 1784. The plate itself is probably Ansbach porcelain which was imported by Lyncker for decoration.
