| In the eighteenth century, Dutch porcelain was produced at four centres in the provinces of Noord and Zuid Holland: Weesp, Loosdrecht, Amstel, and The Hague. The porcelain is characterized by its craftsmanship and international style. In terms of material quality and decoration, the products were certainly equal to those made by the renowned European manufacturers. Nevertheless, these Dutch production centres were in operation for no more than a few decades. ‘Pretty Dutch’ gives an account of this period. It describes the coherent social and cultural-historical background, and also displays the beauty of this under-exposed Dutch product. Texts written by specialists, supplemented with reactions to this historical material from present-day designers and artists, cast a new light on Dutch porcelain.
‘Pretty Dutch’ proves that Dutch porcelain does not belong to the past but can also provide a contemporary answer to the issue of ‘Dutch identity’. |
