* Kakiemon:
is a Japanese decorative style featuring stylized flowering branches, animals, hedges, children, etc., found on porcelain. Kakiémon porcelain had a major influence on the new porcelain factories of 18th-century Europe. The style was adopted in Germany, where Meissen copies could be very close to the originals. In Austria, Kakiémon was produced by Du Paquier and the "Viennese manufactures". In France, it can also be found in Chantilly porcelain, at Mennecy and at the Saint-Cloud faience factory. Kakiémon influences can also be found in Delft earthenware and Chinese export porcelain.
