Comprised of 37 hand-painted 12” diameter earthenware plates, CHINOISERIE BIRD reinterprets the lush blue and white surface of an 18th century Delft charger depicting a Dutch rendering of traditional Chinese crane and pine motifs that symbolize longevity.

This work was made using the same traditional tin glaze that the Dutch used to mimic the much-coveted Chinese export porcelains of the era. With a combination go royal blue glaze and cobalt stain, this work mimics not only the surface of its historic counterpart, but the process as well.
