Contemporaries favored the overall effect on the individual quality of each piece. At table, Japanese porcelain was used for the service of dessert, apotheosis of the meal. From the late 17th century, imports became more diversified and new generations rejected the accumulation of blue and white to prefer polychrome pieces and celadon, presented in smaller number in apartments.
