This so-called ‘Kraak porcelain’ vase was made during the Chinese Wanli period (1573-1619) and is richly decorated with motives in underglaze blue. A round foot rim carries the ovoid body, which forms a pronounced shoulder with a short neck. The interior and the base are glazed in white. Scholars and boys in a continuous landscape adorn the entire wall in a fine freely painted blue. Lappets of floral sprigs and a scale pattern further decorate the shoulder. The Wanli six-character mark is visible in a double-circle in the center of the base and the vase comes in new fitted brocade box.

The porcelain vase is in good condition with only minor any signs of wear consistent with age, such as tiny chips at the base and small manufacturing flaws here and there. The height is 11 cm and the diameter measures 14 cm.



Kraak Porcelain

The term ‘Kraak porcelain’ describes Chinese porcelain that was produced and exported to Europe predominantly during the Wanli era (1573-1619). It is believed to be named after the Portuguese trading ships, so-called Carracks, in which it was transported. The underglaze blue decor of kraak porcelain is typically divided into segments and shows traditional motifs such as stylised blossoms or Buddhist symbols.
