Source Description

The Chinese style of decoration identifies this bowl as a product made for the markets in England, Holland, France, and Germany. Here, <em>kakiemon</em> potters rearranged the Chinese literati motifs of the plum, pine, and bamboo. Such kakiemon ware inspired domestic porcelain production in Europe in the 1700s–1800s.
