“_{Oversized vessels carry the weight of 17th century Chinese tradi- tion appropriated and replicated in their own style by the Dutch. Replacing the regular cobalt blue used in Delft Blue ceramics with black glaze creates a powerfully stark contrast. Their majestic size recalls emperors placing only the loveliest girls within to transport them to be by their side on their journey to the afterlife”-Marcel Wanders}
