This typical ‘chine de commande’ object was used in the 18th century as tableware for serving oil and vinegar. It is decorated in Chinese Imari style with flower motifs: underglaze blue and overglazed red with gold. The set is complete with two jugs and. Fortunately, due to the metal cord that is attached around the lids and handles of the jugs, the lids have survived more than 300 years. The metal cords are made in Europe soon after their arrival in the 18th century. The matching holder has a handle to carry the set as well.
Just at the start of the 18th century (in the later Kangxi period), oil and vinegar sets were produced in porcelain on larger scale. Presumably because the European bourgeoisie preferred the use of glass cruets with silver trays a long time. When these porcelain sets were ordered, they were often inspired of Delft earthenware oil and vinegar sets also produced at the start of the 18th century.
Condition: very good. Minor fading of the gold enamels (as usual)
