Lisätietoja ja kuntoraportit
After a european silver model, decorated in 'imair-verte colours. Height 16 cm.
The decoration of this jug is a typical Dutch interpretation of the Japanese Imari. The asymmetry is formed by a blue section on the right and the open scenery with the depiction of a flowering plant and birds in flight. Furthermore the colour pattern of the Japanese Imari porcelain wares is extended with a light green colour. Often we see jugs with a silver or pewter hinge, but this jug has a separate faience cover. Since a jug without a hinge is not really much of a use, this can indicate that the jug was never used and possibly put away in a cupboard.

Alkuperä - Provenienssi
From the Collection of Tove and Karl Emil Strømstad (born 1936), Norway. The couple built their collection over the decades. They started to collect in the early 1970's after buying the first piece, a famille rose bowl, dating from the 18th Century. Mr Strømstads work at IBM brought the couple and their family to various places around the world and they built their vast academic collection of ceramics dating from the Han dynasty to the Qing dynasty by visiting auction houses, antique dealers and antique fairs. Always striving to acquire pieces form different epoques and constantly seeking more knowledge about the pieces, the techniques and their history.
Strømstad label 342. Purchased from Perles, June 2010.
