Imported Chinese and Japanese porcelain was greatly sought after in the Netherlands and strongly influenced the decoration of ceramics by Delft potteries. When the civil war in China from 1644 to 1647 brought imports to a halt, the Dutch East India Company began to transport wares from Japan to fill the demand. Inspired by imports, The Delft manufacturers made these earthenware Vases decorated in the Imari style of Japanese porcelain.
