| Comentarios: | "Canton" ware was mass-produced at Canton after the American Revolution, as an export ware to America. It is sometimes referred to as "Ballast ware" for the low cost and huge amounts shipped (sometimes as ballast) of this porcelain. "Nanking" ware is a more refined and higher quality export ware of the same period. It is distinguished from Canton Ware by it’s finer design execution, consistently cobalt blue paint, and its rim design, which consists of a geometric, diapered lattice rim decoration with occasionally detailed with overglaze gold. |
