About the Item

Sharing with you this very nicely Dutch decorated Chinese Porcelain Yongzheng bowl. What you see is a Jingdezhen made porcelain bowl from around 1710-1730. Later decorated in Holland. There is also anhua (hidden decoration) on the outside wall. Although it is generally believed in Europe that the subject matter of this scene refers to an erotic story of stolen fruit, the fruit depicted with a large round form could be representing oranges instead of cherries or apples. According to some authors, the couple could represent Prince William IV of Orange and his wife Anne, daughter of George II of England, and the shared oranges. Most likely it is a combination of those two elements. It would indicate their marital harmony and also the harmony between them and the Dutch people. This particular interpretation could explain a variation of 'The Cherry Picker or *The Apple Picker design shown on five Chinese punchbowls, a teapot, two milk jugs and a bowl decorated in Holland in the mid-eighteenth century with the scene depicting only the lady holding the fruit basket; these are found in the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum. It has been suggested that this scene could be an allusion to the years 1751-1759 when Anne was left alone as Regent for her son William y symbolized by the orange fruit. A bowl decorated with a comparable overpainted scene o the amorous couple, and a similar border of pending lappets below the inner rim, is found in the Museu-Escola de Artes Decorativas Portuguesas in Lisbon (inv. no. 594)7; another is illustrated by Hartog. For further examples, see the following entries Nos. 68, 69 and 70. A different version of this scene, which includes a European town with mountains and birds in flight in the distance to the left of the couple, is shown on pieces comprising a tea service painted in red, blue, green and purple enamels applied in Holland in ca. 1740, which is found in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.9 The bowl, teabowls and coffee cup from this service, are further decorated on the interior with a miniature landscape scene of ducks swimming in the foreground of a village. A bowl decorated with a similar scene is in the Reeves Center Collection at Washington and Lee University.10 saucer decorated with a similar scene to the one in the Centraal Condition Perfect condition.

Antique Amsterdam Bont Porcelain Tea Bowl Chinese Polychrome, 18th Century
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
A very nicely made 18th century Qianlong Amsterdam Bont porcelain bowl with a fantastic underglaze blue scene of a landscape Take a look at Amsterdams Bont porcelain from China. A relatively unknown niche of Chinese porcelain from ca 1680-1740 that was partly decorated in Europe. Because mainstream Chinese collectors have yet to discover the historical significance of these wares they are relatively easy to find in Holland. While also being highly interesting and of often super quality and with an amazing array of decorations. Amsterdams Bont is a name given to porcelain partly decorated in the Netherlands (most likely in cities like Delft, Haarlem, Makkum). Because Amsterdam was at this moment in time the trade centre of the western world and also of the porcelain trade a lot of this over enamelling was probably commissioned by Amsterdam merchants, to reap higher profits on otherwise boring Chinese wares. The name Amsterdam Bont probably derives from the fact that these type of decorated ware was sold by Amsterdam Merchants. Amsterdam Bont consists of either blanc or under glaze blue decorated Chinese porcelain of basic quality, that was later enhanced with red and sometimes other colours in the Netherlands. It must not be mistaken for other type of Chinese & Japanese blanc wares decorated in Europe. Those we simply call European Decorated Chinese porcelain...
