Some of these might date to the Qianlong era.Chinese porcelain was traded by the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC), which hadspecial commercial privileges to Japan (Decima Island) and China. The wealthyDutch merchants loved the subtle Chinese porcelain and large quantities wereshipped to Holland in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is known that the Chinesefactories reserved their best quality porcelain for export, thuspleasing their European customers.
