Kraak porcelain
Kraak porcelain is a type of Chinese export porcelain produced mainly from the Wanli reign (1573–1620), but also in the Tianqi (1620-1627) and the Chongzhen (1627-1644).〔Vinhais L and Welsh J: Kraak Porcelain: the Rise of Global Trade in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Jorge Welsh Books 2008, p. 17〕 It was among the first Chinese export ware to arrive in Europe in mass quantities, and was frequently featured in Dutch still life paintings of foreign luxuries, as in the one by Jan Davidsz de Heem at right.
==Name==
Kraak porcelain is believed to be named after the Portuguese ships (Carracks), in which it was transported. Carrak—or ''caracca'' in Italian or Spanish—is itself believed to be a derivative of the Arabic term for the type of trading ships used in Renaissance Mediterranean trade: ''qaraquir'', meaning simply merchant vessels.〔Rinaldi, p. 32〕 Although the link with Carrak ships is generally accepted as the root of the name ''Kraak ware'', other origins of the label have also been proposed. For example, Rinaldi points out that in Dutch the verb ''kraken'' means ''to break'' - a characteristic that certainly is common among Kraak wares. Moreover, the term refers to the type of shelves that often displayed import blue and white porcelains in Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands.〔Rinaldi, p. 60; Kerr, p. 38.〕
