BLUE & WHITE CHINA
What is it about blue that people like so much? There is no doubting the allure of blue in china history. All of the earliest patterns of china were exported from China into the Western Hemisphere, and those early
Chinese patterns only had blue decoration on a white ceramic body. Many of these patterns are still familiar to us today, such as Willow, Canton, Nanking, and the Boy in the Window.
Beginning in the early
eighteenth century, French, German, English, Danish and other countries began to introduce their own domestically produced china. Initially, all were "copies" of Chinese export porcelain in, of course,
blue and white.
