The Influence of Chinese Porcelain on Peruvian Ceramic Decoration from the 16th to the 19th Century

Abstract

Currently, interactions between China and Latin American countries are increasingly frequent. Comprehensive, mutually beneficial cooperation and in-depth cultural exchanges and mutual learning have been the main themes in recent years. In view of this, this paper focuses on the Peruvian region in Latin America, concentrating on the circulation of ceramic trade between China and Peru that began in the 16th century. By taking the ceramic decorations of both China and Peru as the primary subjects of study, it explores the influence of Chinese porcelain from the 16th to the 19th century on the themes, compositions, and colors of Peruvian ceramic decoration.
