An Enduring Passion: The 400 Year Dutch Love Affair with Chinese Porcelain
This talk explores the enduring relationship between the Netherlands and Chinese ceramics, tracing its origins, evolution, and relevance within today’s global art market. In the early seventeenth century, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) began importing large quantities of Chinese porcelain into Europe. At the time, Europe had no porcelain production, and Chinese ceramics were therefore seen as exotic, refined, and technically superior to their European counterparts. Chinese (and later also Japanese) porcelain quickly became a symbol of status and taste within Dutch society, becoming embedded in their domestic interiors and cultural identity, and laying the foundation for what can be described as a 400-year love affair.
