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.

These works are included in the exhibition, Fired by Passion: Masterpieces of Du Paquier Porcelain from the Sullivan Collection, June 8, 2017 to August 12, 2018 at The Frick Collection.
