About the Item

Gratefull to share these two small mustard pots with you. Ca 1690-1720. Miniature mustard pot of baluster shape moulded as an opening lotus flower, on a ribbed conical stem. Curved C-shaped handle. The cover is missing. Imari, decorated in overglaze iron-red, green, aubergine enamels and gold with two ranks of moulded lotus petals in low relief, filled with carnation and prunus sprays. Round the mouthrim a scrollwork border and on the splayed foot a zig-zag lines pattern border. Round the foot a petal-pattern border and on the handle a floret between scrolls.Porcelain miniatures were popular in The Netherlands, where they were used to furnish doll's houses, which were not children's playthings but professionally furnished replicas of townhouses. Poppegoet is mentioned in the VOC orders of 1662, this was probably just a name for small objects made of porcelain and not specifically for doll's houses. In general, miniatures were included in groups of decorative porcelain placed on shelves, brackets and consoles in the Dutch interior, or in the porcelain rooms of the grand houses, such as those still in Pommersfelden and Charlottenburg. Germany. Similar miniature objects were also made of silver and glass, and the pieces of Japanese (and Chinese) porcelain fit into the general trend. (Jörg 2003/1, p.190) Decorated in red, gold, aubergine and green enamels. Floral design and borders of lappets and diaper on the foot. It seems the lids are missing. I have added a picture also from a book where silver additions have been made. Literature reference pictures added Enjoy!
