A JAPANESE ARITA BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN V.O.C. PLATE
17TH CENTURY, CIRCA 1680
a museum quality underglaze dish with VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnic - Dutch East India Company) insignia surrounded by long tail phoenix (HO-O) birds, persimmons and flowers, outer rim with six panelled compartments of various blossoms and flowers, five Spur marks to the base in a uniform pattern
Diameter 36cm
Catalogue note: the collapse of the Ming Dynasty in China in 1644 saw Holland's great source of supply of Wanli blue and white 'kraak' porcelain come to an end and as a result the Dutch turned their attention to Japan. The dishes were not released to the free-market rather they were ordered in a limited number for the exclusive use of the officers serving in VOC administered areas or territories.
Provenance - From a Sri Lankan family collection.
