Beschrijving
Decorated in underglaze blue with a Dutch coastal landscape traditionally known as the ‘Scheveningen’ pattern, showing figures beside dunes and marshland with a village, church tower and ships beneath stylised clouds. The design is thought to derive from Delftware landscapes, possibly by the celebrated Delft painter Frederick van Frytom (c. 1632–1702), and was first adopted by Japanese Arita porcelain painters before later being copied by Chinese export potters. Some Chinese examples even imitate Japanese manufacture by including simulated spur marks on the base, such as the current examples do. Another example is illustrated in ‘China for the West’, from the Mottahedeh Collection, where the author notes that: ‘this Chinese plate derives from an earlier Japanese version seems indicated by the presence on its base of four residual firing-spurs apparently copying those which so often appear on the Arita pieces.’ (Source: D.S. Howard, J. Ayers, 'China for the West', p. 73, no. 32)
