Background

Since its creation in the 14th century, Chinese and overseas consumers have long appreciated Chinese blue and white porcelain.
Blue and white porcelain production peaked during the 18th century when Emperor Qianlong and wealthy Qing customers patronized a significant quantity of blue and white products. In the 19th century, the love for blue and white porcelains continued, and they were beloved decors in Qing interior design. In addition, the Aesthetic Movement launched in England further fanned the “blue and white fever” fire in the late 19th century, which continues to this day.
