Plate on footrim, with a wide, flat border Decorated in underglaze blue, with a
wreath of leaves, a flower and, on the border a garland of flowers. On the
reverse of the border two elongated sprays of flowers. Marked on the base with
an artemisia leaf. There are several examples in the collection, some of these
from the Van der Schilden bequest (1925).
Plates of this size, three centimetres larger than an ordinary table plate, were
referred to in documents of the period as ‘double plates’. The painting on this
plate is intriguing: a wreath of long, pointed leaves and a large flower which the
Chinese porcelain painter has portrayed as a kind of peony. The flowers on the
border have been equally transformed. However, there is little doubt that they
depict the flower of a passion fruit, for which a botanical print was used as
model, showing the bloom, the buds and a piece of the fruit cut in half. However,
this print has not been traced yet. The wreath – whose leaves are not those of the
passion fruit – appears to be distinct from this design, serving as a decorative
element. This plant from Central and South America was already known in
Europe in the early 17th century and on account of some of its outward
characteristics became associated with the suffering of Christ, hence its name.
This is a rare type of Chine de Commande, almost unknown in other collections.
