About this work
The jug was made in Japan, but its form is European. Moreover, the decorative painting – a landscape with figures – was probably based on a jug from Delft. In this way, Japanese potters catered to the wishes of Dutch enthusiasts. The bottles are painted with multicoloured enamel. This colourful export ware was in great demand in the Netherlands from the end of the 17th century.
