Its exquisite decoration and the thinness of the porcelain mark it out as of the highest quality. It is of the export style known as <i>kraak</i>. There are several explanations for the origin of the use of the Dutch word <i>kraak</i> to describe this type of late Ming blue-and-white porcelain. One is that it derives from the name of the Portuguese vessels (carracks) that carried the porcelain from the East to Europe. Others include the suggestions that it is from the Dutch verb to break (<i>kraken</i>), or that it derives from the name for shelves on which blue-and-white porcelain was displayed in the Dutch province of Friesland.","physicalDescription":"Bowl, porcelain painted with underglaze blue; the decoration on the exterior is of insects and reptiles among chrysanthemum and bamboo. On the inside, a bird on a rock and a border of cranes and lotuses.
