Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2006.

Eighteenth century European merchants, confronted with thousands of pieces of excess Chinese blue and white porcelain, modified these wares by painting decoration over the glaze. Newly arriving Japanese Imari and Kakiemon polychrome porcelain created a demand in the market, but was scarce and expensive. The overdecoration process was possible due to the recent availability of enamel for decorating and the muffle kiln for firing, thus allowing the merchants to recycle the undesirable porcelain into saleable stock while satisfying consumer demand. Once overdecorating became wide spread, everyone copied everything, making attribution challenging. Extant primary documentation is unknown.

520 $a Eighteenth century European merchants, confronted with thousands of pieces of excess Chinese blue and white porcelain, modified these wares by painting decoration over the glaze. Newly arriving Japanese Imari and Kakiemon polychrome porcelain created a demand in the market, but was scarce and expensive. The overdecoration process was possible due to the recent availability of enamel for decorating and the muffle kiln for firing, thus allowing the merchants to recycle the undesirable porcelain into saleable stock while satisfying consumer demand. Once overdecorating became wide spread, everyone copied everything, making attribution challenging. Extant primary documentation is unknown.
520 $a These overdecorated wares are found in museums, private collections, and antique markets. Collectors, antique dealers, and scholars share a tacit understanding of this production phenomenon, and can describe the process and the product. Those familiar with the subject generally describe them as English or Dutch decorated, and make attributions to the place of overdecoration based on tacit knowledge.
520 $a My interest in the subject started with the acquisition of a piece and was bolstered by this nebulous system of determining the source of the overdecoration. I began my research looking for evidence that supports the current thinking about attribution to place of decoration. This approach was refocused into a field test that examined a virtual collection assembled with a selection of artifacts from the major English and Dutch collections. This field test searched for evidence using 2 case studies. One examined the popular basket of flowers motif, and the second analyzed observed and measured color. This field test was design-centered rather than art historical in nature.
520 $a The theoretical construct of style as evidence and borrowing from the hermeneutic method of deriving evidence from the text provided the lens for looking at overdecorated wares. The hermeneutic circle explains how understanding comes from examining details of the decoration that inform us about the piece, and the piece informs us about the details. The field test uncovered evidence and generated four hypotheses related to shape, observed color, measured color, and mark as sources for evidence of attribution are the outcome of this study.
