Comments:Ayers, Impey & Mallet 1990A small dark blue-glazed bottle with five spiral ribs running down its sides. It is decorated in red enamel, silver and gilt with five medallions showing river scenes, willows and a pagoda. The silver pigment is tarnished black. Zacharias Wagenaer, who was Principal in Japan for the Dutch East India Company, wrote in his report of 10th December, 1659:…1 had contracted with a certain person for about 200 pieces after my own invention, to be made curiously, on a blue ground with small silver tendrilwork…But seeing later that all corners and shops were filled with them and that they were now as common as grass I have taken less of them…(T. Volker, 1954, p. 136).Could this be the origin of the Chinese ‘powder blue’ of the Kangxi period?
