Lot 157
PAIR OF KAKIEMON BLUE AND WHITE VAN FRYTOM STYLE DECAGONAL DISHES, EDO PERIOD, 18TH CENTURY each painted with a view of Scheveningen, the bases with fuku seal marks, 15cm wide Note: the view shown on this plate has traditionally been referred to as Deshima Island (near Nagasaki), which was the V.O.C. headquarters in Japan from 1641-1862. However, it is now thought that it depicts the Dutch coastal town Scheveningen, possibly inspired by a Delft plate by the well-known pottery painter Frederick van Frytom (1652-1702). For a comparable dish from the Groningen Museum, see Jorg, C., Fine & Curious, 2003, no.309. A smaller bowl was excavated at Deshima (Arita 2000, no.73). The Kyashu Ceramic Museum in Arita dates the fuku mark such as those on the present dishes to c.1680-1700. This decoration seems to appear both on contemporary and Japanese porcelain. It is widely published as being of the Deshima Island in the Nagasaki city - not the wet and grassy pasture as on this picture. It is highly likely though that the plate is made by Dutch order and even more likely is that a close previous pattern presented to the Japanese or Chinese might have been a Dutch tile - flies. For a background we need to remember that Japan was first visited by westerners in 1543 and in 1549 targeted by the Jesuit missionary Frans Xavier as the key to the Christening of the closed China. The small fishing village of Nagasaki soon grew to a city with 30,000 inhabitants thanks to the westerners activities. During the course of time the Japanese well founded doubts in the intents of the smelly foreigners insulted in the Dutch traders being confined to a small man made island - Deshima Island - in the Nagasaki harbor. From this the profitable trade with Japan was continued by the Dutch despite a massive distrust. Against this background it is understandable that the decoration of this plate have been supposed to be depicting this important trading station. Unfortunately this does not fit with the reality. One place in the world - also with strong Dutch connections - which does look like this is the city of Gothenburg on the Western coast of Sweden. Gothenburg was built as a trading station by the Dutch on much the same plan as "Batavia" or nowadays Jakarta and actually also "New Amsterdam" - today better known as New York. Everybody familiar with Erik Dahlbergs important Swedish prints collection Suecia Antiqua et Houdierna depicting all cities and building of importance in Sweden by the end of the 17th century, will recognize the central part of the print of the city of GOTHEBORG, published in 1709. Even the cow being lead on a leash by a farmer is present. The odd structure in the left top middle on the plate would then be the Kvarnberget wind mill and the gate in the middle match and explains the main city entrance - The Kings Gate - facing South to "Danska Vagen." The curious and unexplained "half houses" on the dish appears exactly the same on the print by the simple reason that on the print, they have their lower part hidden behind the city walls.
