🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES

Produced in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, during the Kangxi Emperor’s reign (1662–1722). The decoration reflects the Chinese Imari style, developed in the early 18th century as Chinese kilns responded to European demand for Japanese Imari while introducing their own refinement: thinner porcelain bodies, smoother glazes, and more even decoration. Pieces of this type were highly prized in Europe and remain a cornerstone of serious export porcelain collections.
