Chinese pottery and porcelain is so steeped in history that it would be impossible to cover such a vast array of information in a single article. To narrow the scope, this article will review patterns and forms made for the American markets from the late 1700’s to the establishment of export laws in 1891. We will focus on manufacturing designs representing Canton, Fitzhugh and Rose Medallion.
