A very nicely made 18th century Kangxi tureen. Redecorated in Europe. Old inventory number at the base. There was a small yellow sticker at the lid, which is removed now. We 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.

It must not be mistaken for other type of Chinese & Japanese blanc wares decorated in Europe. Those we simply call European Decorated Chinese porcelain. Amsterdam Bont really is easily recognisable by its colour and style. An interesting side note is that a similar process of overdecorating with red was done in London in more or less the same colours. Method of manufacturing.

At the turn of the 17th c Chinese porcelain...
