Notes :

As the Chinese sank into internal turmoil,

the Dutch turned to the Japanese to supply porcelain, most in underglaze blue.

They requested wares 'with such flower work as the old Chinese porcelain used to have' (indicating Mink Kraak).

The main era of Japanese export of this type was from c1650-1681.

The pieces were of good porcelain, thicker than the Chinese,

without the usual Kraak moth-eaten edges, and generally with characteristic spur marks verso.
