After the Japan market was opened, there were some European factories that tried to duplicate the works. The Meissen Manufactory in Germany produced many of these copies for Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland (and yes, my last name comes from the town of Meissen in Germany). Unfortunately, at the time, the European imitators did not know how to do the enamel glaze that Japanese potters used. So the Meissen factory would just paint figurines. Over time that paint has come off. The eagle on the left was made in Japan with the enamel glaze, while the paint on the eagle on the right made by Meissen, has disappeared.
