GENERAL DESCRIPTION
During the late 17th and 18th centuries, European and English potters tried desperately to compete with imported blue and white Chinese porcelains. The use of a white tin-glaze was an effort to give the appearance of white porcelain. The blue decoration achieved by the use of cobalt oxide was a direct imitation of the Chinese blue and white wares. In fact, the scenes on this plate were probably copied directly from imported Oriental examples.
