Plate with wild goose and lotus

One of the most popular wares exported to Japan and Holland was this type of kraak plate. Eight panels with alternating peach branches and lucky symbols surround the edge, while the interior center is painted with three pairs of ducks in a lotus pound. The chipped rim-edge and the sand residue adhering to the bottom are common features seen in kraak porcelain. Provincial kilns at Anxi in Fujian were identified as having produced underglaze-blue wares with sand adhering to their bottoms (KG 1989.7: 617-23). Non-official kilns in Jiangxi and the coastal areas may also have made kraak ware.
