Important note : Please read the Item discription below for the detailed condition of the item ! Objects from Eastern cultures have always appeared mysterious, attractive, enigmatic, and exotic in Europe. They were keenly copied too: chinoiserie (French) draws not only from Chinese art but also integrates Japanese, Indian, and Middle-Eastern elements according to European tastes. Chinoiserie is unique: the diversity and variety with which Fischer reworked and reproduced Far-Eastern porcelains are extraordinary. There was a demand for Fischer's porcelains among the bourgeoisie, but his largest clients were the aristocratic families. The most beautiful decorations were either named after their first customers or the families which Fischer gifted with a design he highly valued. It was Miklós Esterházy, the ambassador to St. Petersburg, who brought to Hungary the precursor of today's Esterházy design. The base color of the pattern is brick red or green, from which the stylized rush flower pattern is scraped out using the handle of a paintbrush, and alongside it, Chinese characters are painted."
