Property from an English Private Collection, lots 195-200 inclusiveThree moulded 'kraak' dishesLate 16th/early 17th centuryComprising: one moulded to the cavetto with lappet-shaped medallions enclosing slip-outlined, alternate designs of cash, lotus, and Daoist symbols, the centre with an under-glaze blue ogival medallion of a deer by a pine tree; the second, also moulded with lotus lappet-shaped medallions, enclosing blossoming flower heads, the well with a blue and white ogival medallion of precious objects; the third with slip-outlined scalloped cavetto enclosing a circular landscape medallion to the centre. The largest: 20.5cm (8in) diam. (3).注脚Kraak dishes with moulded cavetto are considered by Maura Rinaldi, in Kraak Porcelain, London 1989, to date to the late 16th and early 17th century. Whilst Rinaldi dates those with ogival medallions to the last quarter of the 16th century, she believes those with a scalloped rim to have been produced in the first decades of the 17th century.A very similar dish to the first, with slip-enhanced moulded cavetto and a deer medallion to the centre, is illustrated by Rinaldi, ibid., pl.47.
