Book Description:
An enduring witness to Dutch Japanese relations is the Arita export porcelain made for the Dutch market in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was instrumental in ordering and distributing a diversity of such export wares. Private trade also played an important role. This resulted in the importation of large amounts of Japanese porcelain into the Netherlands: these works were assimilated into Dutch life and they stimulated the interest in exotica from the Orient. Whilst many of these exquisite pieces have been lost over time, numerous examples of Japanese export ware are still housed in public and private collections in the Netherlands. In this book, Dr Jorg discusses the variety of export ware and the extraordinary pieces in these collections, offering an insight into one aspect of Dutch Japanese relations.
