CHINOISERIE CHINESE PORCELAIN
Chinoiserie is a style that exhibits the Chinese elements in a way that
is not Chinese, but semi-Chinese with its root in the 17th century. The
most unique feature of the porcelain wares is the richly imaginative
cartoon style drawing. The birds, butterflies and flowers are drawn in
exaggerated and grotesque proportions, even larger than human figures.
The translation of the poem is: "Calm down
when you are angry. Beware of your words and expressions. Watch out when
you are busy. Appreciate and admire your asset". The wise saying urges
people to develop a good character and to practice thrift.
