Willem Kalf, Still Life with a Late Ming Ginger Jar, 1669 Pilgrim Break Room, 2012

Here is my website Kevin Best Still Life Photographer The chinese bowls in these works are known as Kraak Porcelain it was produced from the Wanli reign (1563-1620) until around 1640. the name came from the Portuguese ships Carracks, which transported them. I marvel when I think of what these wafer thin delicate little objects have been though and survived.
