Plate with Geese in Lotus Pond
Japanese production of porcelain, which began in the early seventeenth century, flourished in the second half of the century in part thanks to the demands of the Dutch, who needed a new supplier as a result of the political disorder in China at the time. The shape and decoration of this dish follow the Chinese kraak ware; however, the colors of the enamels are uniquely Japanese.
