Produced in the Kangxi period (1661-1722), this fine plate was intended for the export market and painted in the fashionable Japanese style.

These were exported to the outside world from the port at Imari, and their dramatic combination of underglaze blue with overglaze red and gold proved an enormous success...

Jianyao tea bowl with hare’s fur (temmoku) glaze over a rough stone-ware body, Shuji, Fujian province, China, Song dynasty, C12. Traditionally, these rough bowls were thought of as the ideal tea bowls, both because they showed off perfectly the white powdered tea that was fashionable at that time and because their thick bodies retained the heat well. The lustrous dark brown glaze, carrying reddish streaks of iron, has pulled away in firing to leave the reddish slip exposed around the rim...
