	Meissen Chinoiserie & Harbour Scenes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Both the chinoiseries and harbour scenes reflect a frame of mind of Westerners during the 18th - century: the peculiar and overwhelming fascination for the far - off, the exotic, the Asian.
		The ideas for the harbour scenes like the chinoiseries, were not original to the factory, having (as evidenced by engravings of the period) originated in the previous century.
		Painted on Böttger porcelain, left unmarked, the scene on the saucer is a deliberate and extraordinary synthesis of a chinoiserie and harbour scene, executed with the utmost delicacy.

		From the (The period of European history at the close of the Middle Ages and the rise of the modern world; a cultural rebirth from the 14th through the middle of the 17th centuries) Renaissance to the eighteenth century Western designers attempted to imitate the technical sophistication of Chinese ceramics with only partial success.

	Orient-ing Fashion
		There is a pride in the articulation that chinoiserie is almost the same but not quite, but also implicit is the fearful need to further reify the West's dominant position.
		Chinoiserie is more than a "transformation" and "reinterpretation" of the Orient, it is the creation of an "Orient" that is amenable to the imperialist mentality.
		The need for reinterpretation of chinoiserie which was the initial colonial incarnation of "the Orient" points to a flaw in its original conception.
