Note du spécialiste

The second is a blue and white version of a design known on a Kakiemon dish, formerly in the collection of Richard de la Mare and illustrated Soame Jenyns, Japanese Porcelain, (London 1965), col. pl. A.
Most of the ceramics purchased by Margaret, the second Duchess of Portland (1714-1785), were mainly blue and white. The collections were sold in 1786 where many pieces that were certainly Kakiemon described in the catalogue as "brown-edge" pieces such as the above.
