Ormolu BW Covered Jar
This cylindrical covered jar is initially a Chinese blue and white jar decorated with flowers and leafy scrolls, accompanying with decorative borders of florets. When it was imported to Europe it became a much more expensive item. People the fitted it with a gilt-bronze lid and base to be a covered jar. It looks attractively grand and graceful.
This kind of covered jar has been a fashion in Netherland. The locals named it as Doppotten in Dutch (Jörg & Van Campen 1997, p.111) . The bronze work was well executed. The design is fine and elegant. The under glaze blue is sharp and intense. The pattern is full of Arabian favour, a popular trend during the early Ching period. The workmanship is professional and of the high grade. (Researched by Mr. H. Van Baarsen)
