Abstract
During the seventeenth century, such great quantities of Oriental porcelain were being imported into Europe that for the first time large collections could be formed. All that remains of the collection of Queen Mary II of England is the inventory taken after her death in 1694 of the portion of her collection at Kensington Palace, and some pieces traditionally connected with her that are still in the Royal Collection Part of her collection was transported to Holland, where some part of it found its way to the Huts de Voorst; later it was sold at auction in 1744. The Kensington Inventory and the de Voorst sale record can be studied together to explore the changes in European collecting patterns during this fifty-year period.
