Kraak porcelain is many things to different persons. Plates and Bowls can be defined rather easily. Other forms, however, although decorated in Kraak-Style, do not fall under the same criteria. Their make is not thin, not crisp and in most cases rather heavy.

In addtion, the cargo of Portuguese ships contained all kinds of porcelain, Kraak , Kraak-Style and Non-Kraak. Who can draw the line?
