Clobbered
The term “clobbered” or “clobber ware” refers to Chinese export porcelain that has had its original blue and white under glaze added to at a later date usually with coloured enamel decoration. The practice originated in Holland and spread through Europe. It was often used to enhance Chinese ceramics to make them appeal to European tastes it could also be used to disguise damage or repairs.
