# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1583 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Chinoiserie: Do not borrow this as innocent exoticism or blend it with genuine Chinese design as if the two were one, and hold the distance between the fantasy and the history of extraction.
# - Delftware: Aiming to pass as real porcelain turns the thick earthenware body and the speed of the brush from virtues into faults.
