It is an cotagon in white porcelain from Fukion and of the epoch of the Sung dynasty, After exporting the porcelain sold on the market of the Far Enat, the Dutch, imitated by others, ordered special doco zations. Manufactured at Ein-in-chen, in Kiang-ai, the porcelain was gonormally

in the Grandidier collection a large dish of, porcelain having at the bottoms the bont Vryburg, commanded by Capt. Jacob Byyik in China in 1756. Usually only the arm of the destinator were painted on the bottom of the plate or on the side of the vage. The missionaries followed the example of the Company of the Indies; in the Guimet Museum at Sovres can be seen dishes, saucers, and oupa orusmonted with pictures done in white and black, and touched up with gald of portraits of saints, religious acanes, the baptism of Christ, the Cruvilizion, the Resurrection, dr. Occasionally subjects were chosen the reverse of adifying, and these find a place in the "onfers" collec tione. The Chinese also executed statuettes of Europeana and of horsemen; for instanco, there is in the Guines Museum a Dutch. son, in the attitude of the Keang Yin

The museum of Sevres possones a poreclain cup, surde- enrated about 1740, at the manufactory of Chelsen: nad At Sevres itself 1775 applica- tions of gold in relief were made upon Chinese porcelair. Then it was found more simple still to obtain the white porce- laim and decorate it here. Later at. tempts were made to imitate the porcelain); at least, iccal products were decorated with subjects representing Chinese personazo". Delft was a great centre of this manufacture, and other makes include thore of Chelsen and Worcester in England. In Franco the industry was extremely prosperous, and it spread throughout the entire country. Models were furnished. Jean-Antoine Fraises drew and engraved in 1734 for Chantilly 63 copper platos under the title of Book of Chiness designs, diswu from the originals of Persia, India, China, and Japan." which appeared at Paris, Buchor gave hundred plates representing in colours a hundred plants of China which formed the Bret

Continuing, M. Gordier pointed out that before they definitely established their, commerce at Canton in the middle of the sevonteenth century, the English obtained their Chinees products from their band in Japan, which only bad short existence. They succeded, however, in establishing themselves at the ontance of the Porsian Gulf, at Gombrun, which became later Bender Abbas; it was from this port they vxported the poroslain known under the -name of Gombrun ware, manufactured at Ispahan by Chinese potters Invited by the Porsian sovereign.
