Originating in the mid-seventeenth century in the Edo period, it was produced mainly in factories around the town of Arita in the Japanese province of Hidzen, now known as Saga Prefecture. The mid-seventeenth-century potter Sakaida Kakiemon was one of the first in Japan to discover the secret of decorating porcelain with enamel, a technique known as akae.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the late 17th century, Kakiemon porcelain began to be exported from Japan to Europe through the Dutch East India Company. Interaction with European cultural tastes led to the style being picked up by Meissen in the early 18th century, followed by Chelsea, Worcester and Derby.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gravy jug bears the Derby mark, which includes a crown and the letter D. This mark was used from 1784 to 1825. However, after 1820 the marking became less clear, indicating a period of manufacture between 1820 and 1825.\u003cbr\u003e\nLength 16 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight 14cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 274 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nElegant saucepan on four round, spherical legs.\u003cbr\u003e\nCream base\u003cbr\u003e\nFantastic condition looks like an almost new piece - only slight loss of gilding along the top edge\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease examine all photos carefully.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe item will be sent with full tracking and insurance.
