DescriptionZhangzhou fles (voorheen Swatow genaamd) van Chinees porselein, versierd in onderglazuur blauw in kraak-stijl.
Zhangzhou Export Ware: These heavily-potted and crudely-painted porcelains were made for export at various kilns, mostly located in the Chinese coastal province of Fujian. Before 1994, these porcelains were called ‘Swatow’ wares after an old Dutch transliteration of Shantou, a port in northern Guandong province which was mistakenly connected with them. They were traded to countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, the Phillipines and Malaysia as well as to Japan and Holland. They are characterised by coarse sandy bases and were made with underglaze blue, overglaze enamel and slip decoration on a single coloured ground.
