A rare faience fan dish with a "Spanish Chinoiserie"

With 27 folds around the rim and central raised node. Unmarked. With a short crack. Diameter 35.5 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.
