A large Imari “La dame au parasol” dish after a design of Pronk

#MWFINDS

Qianlong period (1736-1795)

Diam : 26 cm 

Large size 

This decoration is after a design by Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759) that was commissioned by the Delft chamber of the Dutch East India Company. Known as “La Dame au Parasol” (the “Parasol Lady”), the original watercolor for the design was completed in 1734, and copies were sent to China by way of Batavia in 1735. Two years later, services in underglaze blue, “Chinese Imari”, and famille rose arrived in Amsterdam.

Pronk’s chinoiserie design, the inspiration for which remains unclear, briefly reappeared in the China trade in the 1770’s. However, the very elaborate border made this decoration expensive, and this is almost certainly why such designs were soon discontinued.
