Bord, beschilderd met een Chinees c. 1760 - 1775

This 18th-century tin-glazed earthenware plate, painted with a Chinese figure fishing, is a fine example of European fascination with East Asian art. The scene, likely inspired by imported Chinese porcelain, features a colorful depiction of a fisherman and a stylized landscape. The plate's design is characteristic of the Chinoiserie style popular throughout Europe during the 1700s, which incorporated motifs and aesthetics from China into European decorative arts, including tableware. The plate is a testament to the artistic exchanges and cultural influences that shaped 18th-century European society.
