Japanese porcelain played an important role in the
decorative schemes of European palaces and country
houses in the second half of the 17th century, the
continuation of which is felt to this day. Japanese
porcelain was imported into Europe from the end of
the 1650s until the late 1730s - the period covered in
this catalog. The Ashmolean Museum has perhaps
the most comprehensive collection in the West. More
than 400 pieces are included, among which Arita,
Ko-Imari and Kakiemon porcelains, each illustrated
and discussed with some comparative material.
