A rare Qianlong porcelain tankard with Oslo silver mountings

A famille rose "chine-de-commande" tankard with silver lid inscribed "P.A.S - K. H. Grundset" and inset with a gilt four mark coin bearing the Danish knight's crown and a portrait of King Frederick IV of Denmark and Norway, dated 1723. With a bifurcated acanthus thumbrest. H 19 cm.
Marks of Ernst Peter Michelsen Rømer, dated 1755.

The engraved monogram is thought to be that of the Norwegian merchant and landowner Per Amundsen Grundset, who was known for the extensive collection of porcelain and silver housed in his mansion Grundset Gård in Elverum/Hedmark, just north of Oslo, which was completed in 1731. For more information on him see: Skirbekk, Grundset, in: Elverum Bygdbok 2984, vo. 2, p. 158 ff..
