About this work
In the mid-17th century Dutch potters tried to produce earthenware that more closely resembled Chinese porcelain. They adapted the firing technique so that the dishes could be thinner, and the white tin glaze improved. While the painter of these dishes derived inspiration from Chinese porcelain, he added imaginary motifs, such as the pulpit and parts of the landscape.
