Background of Bow Porcelain

The Bow Porcelain factory, established in East London around 1744, was one of the earliest porcelain manufactories in England.
Known for its innovation, Bow produced porcelain that combined English clay with imported materials like bone ash, creating a durable yet delicately translucent body.
The factory was heavily influenced by the popular Chinese export porcelains of the time, often incorporating chinoiserie themes, as seen in this exquisite plate.
Bow’s work was renowned for its hand-painted designs and vivid use of color, qualities beautifully exemplified in this piece.
