Chinese blue and white porcelain became immensely fashionable in 17th-century Holland as the Dutch East India Company, established in 1602, began to import this exotic product by the shipload.
The potters of Delft changed their style and the quality of their product in order to compete with Chinese porcelain. Decorations in Chinese style were applied in cobalt blue on the finest white tin-glaze ground.
This plate is copying a Chinese original from the Kangxi period (late 17th century), illustrating a scene taken from the popular Chinese novel 'The West Chamber'.
