Tureen and Stand

This set combines Chinese-inspired fish handles with a tureen and stand of a characteristically European shape. The overall Japanese Imari style of extensive floral ornaments painted in blue, iron-red, and gold is combined with colorful Chinese figures — influenced by those created at the Meissen manufactory by Johann Gregor Höroldt — set inside East Asian–inspired fan cartouches. Much of Du Paquier’s production is marked by this rich interplay of eastern and western influences.
