About this work
The form of this large earthenware plate is inspired by a European silverware shape. The delightful painted decoration, like the eccentric rock in the foreground, draws inspiration from motifs found on imported Asian ceramics, but combines these with European imagery, including Rococo scrollwork employed architecturally in the fence in the middle ground, to create a fantasy landscape.
