A rare faience fan dish with a "Spanish Chinoiserie"

With 27 folds around the rim and central raised node. Blue mark F. Minor glaze chips to the rim. Diameter 41 cm.
Frankfurt, attributed to the period of Anna Margarethe and Jakob Fehr, 1690 - 1700.

The term "Spanish Chinoiserie" was originally coined by Adolph Feulner, who used it to describe a series of Chinoiserie figures on Frankfurt faience, whose clothing he recognised as being similar to that of Spanish toreros. In fact, however, this clothing can be traced back to a specific Chinese garment. Contrary to earlier research, it has recently been assumed that there was more than one painter responsible for the "Spanish Chinoiserie" type.

Provenance

Private collection, Hesse.
