Abstract
In the late Ming dynasty, a geometrical pattern that comprises three-dimensional shapes resembling the 人 Chinese character can be found on ceramic products such as Kraak porcelain. This study first referred to the Regulations of the Imperial Household Department (annotation version of 1766) and confirmed that this pattern was named ＂chain mail＂ at the time. Next, it indicated that, with the exports of Chinese ceramics, the influence of this chainmail pattern extended to ceramics made in places such as Delft in present Netherlands or Iran. In China, this type of chainmail pattern can date back at the latest to the colored chainmail painting on pottery figurines in the 7^(th) century, which later became a chainmail type commonly seen on Buddhist Bishamonten statues in the 9^(th) century and included by Li Jie as a decorative pattern for imperial architecture into his Yingzhao Fashi (Treatise on Architectural Methods; 1103) in the Northern Song dynasty. In addition, the chainmail patterns frequently found on Japanese ceramics since the 17^(th) century were also inspired by Chinese ware with similar decorations and then gained wide circulation.
