Description

Up to the mid-19th century, Chantilly porcelain was decorated in a style known as Kakiemon, from the name of the Japanese creator of the kilns in Arita, in Japan, in the 17th century. Here two ferocious leopards of Asian inspiration guard pot-pourri holders in the Kakiemon style: pride of place for the white porcelain, stylised patterns, minimal palette.
