According to the master of the rolls in the Province of Utrecht, these arms probably refer to Jan Louis van Hardenbroek, born in Neerlandbroek, Utrecht in 1691. Hardenbroek was a naval captain serving the Admiralty of Amsterdam beginning in 1713, who married Johanna Charlotte van Renesse van Lockhorst in 1718. He commanded a total of seven warships in the years spanning 1715-1731, was admitted into the Utrecht nobility in 1734 and commissioned the well-known thinly-potted porcelain dishes with this coat-of-arms.
Dr. Jochem Kroes, discussing the service, notes that the grisaille decoration, which came into use by Chinese manufactories in the mid-1720s, enjoyed particular popularity among Dutch clients in the 1730s. Praising it as "exceptional", he places this service chronologically first among the group of Dutch-market services of the period painted with intricate grisaille diaper. See J. Kroes, Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch Market, pp. 27-28, fig. xxv and pp. 259-260, cat. no. 171.
