| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
The wares made at Savona in Italy in the late 17th century successfully blended European and Chinese features. They combined the moulded and pierced forms of maiolica with a sketchy, watery and whimsical painting style. This was borrowed from Chinese porcelain of the Transitional Period, which followed the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty in 1644.
