Kakiémon porcelain had a major influence on the new porcelain manufactures of the 18th century in Europe. The style was adopted in Germany where Meissen's copies could be very close to the originals. In Austria, we find Kakiémon made by Du Paquier and by the “Viennese manufactures”. It is the same, in France, in the porcelain of Chantilly, in Mennecy and in the earthenware factory of Saint-Cloud. Kakiémon influences are also found in Delft earthenware and Chinese export porcelain. Dimensions: 5.6 cm x 4.5 cm Height: 2.2 cm Reference: E10 631 All photos are on: www.antiques-delaval.com
