Fig.12 shows two Batavian cups and saucers; on the right wheel engraved with a rare hunting scene. Wheel engraving was one of a number of techniques employed by Europeans to enliven Chinese porcelain. It is not often encountered. It is essentially a German glass decorating technique that was suited to the glaze of Chinese porcelain. By cutting deeply, the skilled engraver was able to remove the glaze completely, exposing the brilliant white porcelain, this contrasted well with the rich brown of the Batavia ware or other coloured glazes found on Chinese porcelain. Wheel engraving was practised at Dresden, Bohemia and Silesia in the 17th and 18th centuries.
