A 17th or 18th Century Japanese Kraak Style V.O.C Dish - Robert McPherson Antiques
A Japanese Export Porcelain Dish for the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, (V.O.C.) c.1670 - 1700 or perhaps 1720. This Arita porcelain dish has the V.O.C. monogram to the center within a circle, the V with a smaller O and a C interlinked. This is surrounded by a pair of phoenixes among fruiting peach and camellia. The Kraak style border is of panels with bamboo, peony and prunus. According to Christiaan J.A. Jörg in Fine and Curious, Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections (Christian J.A. Jörg, Hotei Publishing, 2003. ISBN 90-74822-16-9. Page 225, plate 285), "VOC dishes were probably ordered by the High Government from 1668, when it started to require porcelain from Batavia. VOC dishes were used as an early form of in-house corporate promotion at high-ranking Company employees, at the Factories in Asia, and probably in the officer’s cabins aboard ship". Jörg goes on to mention the remains of similar dishes have recently been excavated in Deshima, he dates these dishes to c.1670 to 1720. This is the first Japanese VOC dish I have had in 40 years in business.
