Earthenware with three-color (sancai) lead glazes .Vase. Culture: German, Meissen. Decorator: Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck (German, 1714-1754). Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 15 7/8 x 10 x 10 in. (40.3 x 25.4 x 25.4 cm). Factory: Meissen Manufactory (German, 1710-present). Date: ca. 1735.The production of large vases was one of Meissen's greatest technical achievements. Vases of this scale were difficult both to form and to fire in the kiln; even this highly accomplished example displays a slight warping from the firing that has caused the tall neck to lean slightly. The vase is decorated with a yellow enamel ground inspired by Chinese porcelains, while the three reserves are painted with chinoiserie scenes, each of which depicts three Chinese figures in a landscape. The painting is of a very high quality, and has been attributed to Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck (1714-1754), a talented artist who worked at Meissen from 1727 to 1736.The base of the vase is marked with the initials AR painted under the glaze. It is probable that AR stJar decorated with flowers and insects mid-18th century Korea In its form, color, and style of decoration, this handsome jar is representative of blue-and-white porcelain produced at court-patronized kilns in eighteenth-century Korea.

(117 × 39.05 × 38.74 cm) (approx.), Tin-glazed earthenware, pigments, Netherlands, 18th century, 'Tulip mania' reached its height in the 1630s in Europe, with wealthy men and women spending great sums of money to acquire exotic tulip bulbs from the Middle East. More generally, there was enthusiasm for all types of rare flowers, such as marigolds, which came from Mexico via Spain. Potters in Holland created elaborate multitiered vases like this one to showcase colorful blooms. Here, the borders of scrolling lotuses, chrysanthemums, ruyi (scepter heads), and the Chinese character for longevity are copied from decoration on Chinese blue-and-white porcelain vases imported in large quantities in the 1600s. It is unlikely that Dutch craftsmen or customers knew the meaning of these motifs.Bird Basin, the young Porian Soleoft, C. 1680 - c. 1685 Waterbank for birds from Faience with a chinoiserie decoration Delft .
