COLLECTING ENGLISH CHINA AND PORCELAIN

A GENERAL HISTORY

THE MANUFACTURING OF CHINA AND PORCELAIN WAS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, YET THE MAJORITY OF THE CHINA & PORCELAIN FACTORIES WERE LOCATED IN THE DISTRICT OF STAFFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE NUMBER OF FACTORIES WERE OVER ONE THOUSAND IN NUMBER.

BY THE 19TH CENTURY ENGLISH CHINA AND PORCELAIN ACHIEVED A WORLD REKNOWN REPUTATION OF EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY.

AMERICAN RETAILERS IMPORTED VERY LARGE QUANITIES OF CHINA AND PORCELAIN FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

THE SPECIAL PRODUCTION OF ENGLISH PIECES OF THE 18TH CENTURY AND EARLY 19TH CENTURY HELD A GREAT IMPORTANCE AMONG EARLY AMERICAN ANTIQUE COLLECTORS.
