KANGXI 1662 – 1722 English Decorated Chinese Export Porcelain

A Kangxi Blanc de Chine Porcelain Chocolate Pot and Cover c.1700-1720. Decorated in London c.1700-1720 in the Japanese Style.

Although not common blanc de chine chocolate pots and covers with English decoration of this period are well known and they occur with a variety of decoration. It appears that a specific group of them must have been ordered, possibly with the express purpose of enamelling them in England. Far more occur with English decoration than left in the white. As far as I am can recall there are no examples decorated in Holland.
