From the series In detail
Theepot met deksel, veelkleurig beschilderd met chinoiserieën
The European elite was fascinated by so-called white gold: porcelain from Asia, which they became familiar with at the end of the 16th century and sought to imitate. They only succeeded in doing so in 1709. The first European porcelain factory opened in the German town of Meissen.
