Batavia Brown:
A decorative style within Chinese export porcelain using a surface covering brown glaze with or without panels in conjunction with underglaze blue or enamels. The wares appears to have been named after the city of Jakarta which at that time was the Dutch East India Company trading center in South East Asia, or Batavia. The decoration also seems to have been particularly popular with the Dutch.

Export wares with this decoration were common throughout the first half of the 18th century and included rounded dishes, vases, tea pots, tea bowls, saucers, lidded jars and other useful wares.
