wall description:
Underglaze blue-and-white designs reached their highest painterly quality during the reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662–1722). Porcelain decorators achieved a level of artistic and technical sophistication that rivaled that of professional painters. Blue-and-white porcelains in brilliant cobalt blue catered to the taste of the educated class, the court, and foreign markets. Notice the blue-and-white porcelains in Pierre Bonnard’s painting <em>Fruit and Fruit Dishes </em>(<a href="https://www.clevelandart.org/art/2020.100">CMA 2020.100</a>); such ceramics on a French dining table would have been inspired by Chinese porcelains of this type.
