The mark with the Chinese Seal dates to circa 1810 to 1813. The pattern name is derived from the verandah on which the two Chinese figures are seen conversing. A third figure stands in a doorway and observes them. Another pair of figures, also conversing, can be found in the upper left section of the pattern
