18th Century. Chinese Ware Modeled After Japanese Designs. Pair Of Plates In The Imari Style
The fall of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century led to social unrest that disrupted the porcelain trade with the West.
Merchants then turned to Japanese wares, particularly the famous Imari porcelain.
Under Emperor Kangxi, once stability was restored, Chinese manufacturers began copying Japanese porcelain to appeal to European tastes.
This explains why these charming plates, produced in Chinese kilns in the 18th century, were directly inspired by their rivals.
Although the designs are perfectly identical, they differ slightly in the lines, which indicates different hands, which is normal for freehand designs.
In perfect original condition.
