The image is a photograph of a grey plaque with a map of the European Market in the center. The map is made up of white hexagons arranged in a grid-like pattern, with each hexagon representing a different country or region. The text on the plaque is written in Chinese and translates to "European Market" in English. Below the map, there is a brief description of the market, which states that it was only in the 18th century that Europeans began to trade directly with China in Canton, with the result that they could influence more than the appearance of products produced in China. Porcelain was commissioned in a variety of European shapes, notably sets of dishes suitable for the European dining table.
