A SMALL 17TH/18TH CENTURY CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE CLOBBERED PORCELAIN VASE Kangxi/Yongzheng, painted with figures in landscapes. 8 cm x 4.5 cm. Note: 'Clobbering' is usually understood as when polychrome 'enhancement' is applied over an existing and complete underglaze blue motif and not intended part of the original design, usually to make an item more saleable. This term is today used on all Chinese porcelain to which an enamel decoration has been added in Europe. The original meaning was however when enamels was added as a repair to hide a defect, and should be distinguished from Amsterdam Bont.
