Notes:

A new lighter porcelain, highly transportable and thus an attractive option for overseas trade was developed at Jingdezhen in around 1580. Mass produced in standardised shapes, such as the bottle vase form represented here, these wares became known as 'kraak' after the Dutch 'carrack' trading ships.
