Background of Guangzhou porcelains

Since the late 18th century, the Guangzhou workshops have been famous for their inclusive decorative styles, which seamlessly integrated Chinese styles into Western designs.
Often, foreign dealers would bring European pattern books or wooden models to Guangzhou before placing custom-made orders.
