18th C. Chinese Qing Batavian Ware Bowl, ex-Museum
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 18th century CE. An impressive pottery bowl decorated in a style called Batavian ware, also known as Capuchin ware or Cafe au Lait, which was named after one of the main trading posts of the Dutch East India Company, the town Batavia - modern-day Jakarta and features a brown underglaze. Displaying a sophisticated form, the elegant dish displays a flat basin and gently sloping walls that rise to a flared rim, all sitting upon a ring-form foot. The interior of the vessel is adorned with intricately painted blue-on-white vegetal and floral motifs, while a chocolatey brown glaze envelops the rim and exterior. Batavian ware dishes, like this example, were of high demand in the west and typically made in China for export to the European market. Size: 10.9" Diameter x 3.1" H (27.7 cm x 7.9 cm)
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
