An attractive example of a highly collected export porcelain pattern.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

This design was long identified as depicting Deshima Island, the Dutch East India Company trading post in Japan, but is now generally believed to represent the Dutch coastal town of Scheveningen.

The scene derives from compositions by the Delft artist Frederik van Frytom (1632-1702), whose landscapes inspired both Japanese and Chinese export porcelain decorators.

Comparable examples are held in the Ashmolean Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrating the enduring importance of this export ware pattern.
