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 to which the word Batavia could have been used as a synonym due to the Chinese djonk trade and the trans-shipping onto Dutch ships via their trade entrepot Batavia at Jakarta. The brown glaze usually found on the outside of pieces and on the underside of dishes and outside of bowls occurs also in several shades of which some are distinct enough to have got names of their own, such as a light brown version called Café au lait.
