The colour scheme (grisaille) and the iconographic programme is respectful of Chinese export wares. The date, 1755, and the marine vessels stand for the deportation of the Acadian settlers. The red flames on the bottom section of the vase allude to the burning of the church, houses, and fields. Often, this type of Chinese ceramics was commissioned to commemorate noteworthy events.
