Yuan Dynasty is era of  basic technology of ceramic production had already been well developed. It was only in decorative styles and new materials that the potter found scope for further experimentation and innovation.

However, in contrast to the restrained classical taste of the Sung court, the new Mongolian rulers’ disinterested attitude in the arts provided a more liberal artistic environment which was conducive to creative experimentation and new directions in decorative styles.

Single most important ceramic development during the Yuan period was the successful use of imported cobalt blue for painting under a clear glaze to produce blue-and-white porcelain.

Underglazed copper red was also used, often in conjunction with underglaze cobalt blue decoration.

Antique symbol

People who do not know what to look for often miss the intended meaning carried on a piece of art or craft.

“The good fortune symbols are often conveyed by symbols in the form of people or deities, animals, plants, fruit, motifs, calligraphy, rebuses (visual puns) and paintings.”
Look out for lucky bats, peonies (prosperity), white cranes longevity), mandarin ducks (love), lotus (wealth, offspring) butterfly   (love), crane (longevity), goldfish (abundance of gold), horse
(endurance/strength), magpie (joy), rooster (advancement), cicada (regeneration), or a peach (immortality).
The vase contains several symbols. At the top and base of the vase are five bats surrounding a symbol, “the five fortunes surrounding longevity”. The vase also carries the image of a resplendent phoenix (good fortune or good luck), chrysanthemums (comfortable life) and pomegranates (fertility).

Antiques Artifacts Attracts Prosperity

Martin's Rembrant painting

The week-long event was organised by the Netherlands Embassy to commemorate 50 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries and the 50th Merdeka celebrations.

Christ Church, constructed in 1753, is perhaps the only place in the Dutch Square that still serves its original purpose. It gave the event a nostalgic feel of the old days when the Dutch ruled Malacca from 1641 to 1824.

A young bride, posing for’ pictures here, said: “There’s historical charm in the buildings. We were awed by them and decided that we must have our wedding pictures taken here.”

The red laterite Stadthuys (1650), originally the residence of the Dutch Governor and his officials, now houses souvenir stores and a plethora of museums, among them the History and Ethnography Museum.

Dutch Antique Pendant made with blue and white porcelain salvaged from shipwrecks

Statues of cows, Holland’s most iconic animal, lent atmosphere to the Dutch Square. The five life-sized cows, made of plastic and fibreglass, were painted with colourful scenes by artists and children of European Union countries. Placed near the clock tower and fountain, the cows were part of an original 28 made to represent the 27 EU countries and the EU Commission.

Children were seen cuddling the cows while their parents took pictures. The Holland cow featured pink, red and yellow tulips sprouting towards the blue and white sky.

“Cows are an important symbol for Holland,” said Dutch Ambassador Lody Embrechts. He said it symbolised the importance of agriculture as agricultural activities take up 60 per cent of land in Holland.

Unfortunately, except for red roses, stalls at the event offered only fake flowers. There were some fresh tulips but they were not of good quality as it was not the tulip season.

Holland Days In Melaka evoked memories of Dutch rule and one could feel it at the Tradewind Treasures store near the Stadthuys door. Here, one can literally take home a piece of history on one’s finger or around one’s neck. Blue and white porcelain from the Wanli (1625) and Desaru shipwrecks (1830) in the South China Sea were set in silver pendants, earrings and rings and sold as jewellery.

dutchantique- turtle money

The Wanli was a Portuguese vessel that sank off the Terengganu coast while Desaru was a Chinese vessel that sank off )ohor. Porcelain items from the two wrecks, such as plates and kendi (teapots), were sold at auctions or exhibitions. Broken ones were cut up so that the little paintings on them, such as deer, dragons, phoenixes and auspicious writings, could be immortalised on rings and pendants.

Holland Days In Melaka was an opportunity for collectors of Delft blue porcelain to watch master artist Martin V.D. Berg at work. His crafts ranged from little blue and white coasters, teapots, flower pots and fancifully shaped jars, to larger, multi-hued paintings of Dutch people, towns, windmills, country scenes and his favourite artist, Rembrandt.
