席琳 大英博物馆里珍藏的一个康熙朝景德镇仿日本伊万里釉下青花釉上矾红和描金外销瓷盘:
Chinese imari plate with an English coat of arms. The large plate is decorated in Chinese imari style, in underglaze blue, red enamel and gilding, with a central medallion containing a coat of arms with elaborate fronds surmounted by a helmet and with an animal crest; this medallion is repeated four times on the rim, alternating with ruyi - shaped panels enclosing small landscape scenes, which are joined by an overall flower scroll. The base shows a lingzhi mark in a double circle. The arms are Martin. This is one of the Martin families of Worcestershire and London.

Black and white print of Matthew Martin’s portrait 1712
The animal which forms the crest of this coat of arms is believed to represent a marten, a homophone of the name Martin, the family to whom the coat of arms belongs. This dish as well as a covered jug (Howard, 1974, p. 176) formed part of a service made for Matthew Martin, Captain of the East Indiaman Marlborough, a ship known to have been at Canton in 1716; he later became a director of the East India Company.
This dish shows how in the Kangxi period standard export porcelain styles were adapted to fit a Western coat of arms harmoniously into a Chinese design. Various similar plates and dishes with floral motifs instead of the arms were exported to the Middle East and are preserved in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul, Turkey (Krahl, 1986, vol. III, nos. 2994-8). The same design was used again for another armorial service, made around the same time for Daniel Horsemonden of New York, a relative of whom was also involved in the China trade and is known to have been in Canton in 1721 (Howard, 1974, p. 176. For a Chinese imari coffee-pot with the same armorial; Sargent, 1993, p. 208 and pl. 2).

美国大都会博物馆里,也展览了一个景德镇专门为欧洲市场生产的清雍正时期(1725-1730)仿日本伊万里风格的瓷盘:
The extensive use of gilding and the dark blue and red enamels illustrate the Chinese adoption of the Japanese Imari style. This style became popular in Europe in the mid-seventeenth century, when warfare in China disrupted the kilns at Jingdezhen. Once work there resumed, Chinese potters incorporated the Imari style in their repertory in order to appeal to the lucrative European market.
历史上日本人学中国,中国人也学日本,彼此学习的能力都很强,这本属正常的文化交流,尤其是近代。可不知为什么,眼下的中国人,大都文化自信一叶障目,不愿意承认后面这点。
