About this work

Just as in the Netherlands, earthenware imitations of Chinese porcelain were being produced in Portugal already in the early 17th century. These objects were exported to the Netherlands and, together with the genuine Chinese porcelain, were a source of inspiration for Dutch potters. Dishes like these, embellished with imaginary coats of arms, were even made especially for the Dutch and German market.
