             JAPANESE AND EUROPEAN CERAMICS
Coinciding with the establishment of the Sultanates in Demak (central Java) Banten (West Java), some places in South Sulawesi and the moluccas in the sixteenth century, European marchants arrived looking for trade items, specific amongst there itemms desired were spices. The Europeans also marketed Chinese ceramics.

Among those Europeans were the Dutch merchantss consolidated in the V.O.C. (Verineegde Oost Indisch Compagnie) who later ordered porcelain with the V.O.C. monogram on it from japan in the seveteenth century (pl.no.1). Porcelain with the V.O.C. initials in polychrome enamels and the year 1728 on it was also made in China.

Besides the blue and white decorated Japanese ceramics there are polychromes  and celadons (pl.no.2), Japanese ware, including polychrome and the blue and white ceramics dating from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries were very much sought after as dinner ware or decorative objects.
  
European ceramics of the seventeeth century which reached Indonesia were only pieces used in the every day life of the European merchants; for example the blue and white Delf porcelain from the nederlands. Only later, in the nineteeth century., did polychrome enamelled dishes become popular. They were popularized by a group of Indonesia who wished to imitate the European way of life.
