An enamelled monogrammed 'Portuguese ship' teapot and cover, circa 1820

The ship has been identified as the Portuguese trading vessel 'Brilliante', owned by a merchant in (Portuguese-run) Macau. The initials on the pennant identify the merchant as Miguel Alves Sousa, who clearly commissioned the service for personal use, quite possibly on board the ship itself.
