Ships were a popular subject on 18th-century Chinese export porcelain, beginning with Dutch ships in the first decades, the British in mid-century, and the U.S. in the late and into the early 19th century. Among the most impressive of porcelain forms exported from China, large tureens like this held soup. Soup was served at many meals, even very formal ones.
