Description
Still life with blue and white china, figs an berries.
The technique of cobalt blue decorations seems to have come from the Middle-East in the 9th century through decorative experimentation on white ware. Cobalt blue pigments were excavated from local mines in central Iran from the 9th century, and then were exported as a raw material to China.
The blue-and-white technique was fully developed in China with porcelain technology in the 14th century.

The roughly textured wall and table really bring out the silken sheen of the china and the velvet purples of the fruit. Another fantastic still life, Elena.

Lovely china pieces are great in contrast to the background setting. The figs & berries attractively add interest & texture! l/f

Reminiscent of an old world still life painting. Very artistic with beautiful color and texture.
