DECORATIVE OBJECTS

British porcelain of the early 19th century saw the introduction of the bone china body. Hand painted patterns and designs were of the highest quality and printed wares expanded the market to the prosperous middle classes. Spode and Minton led the field in design while Coalport & Ridgway joined them in success. Davenport, New Hall, Miles Mason, Rockingham and many others appeared on the scene leaving high quality and interesting wares for us to collect. Numerous other factories in Staffordshire, Wales and the north of England made bone china for the home market and for export to America. The shape of the wares changed from the plain form of the 1800s becoming increasingly ornate until it evolved into the Victorian Neo-Rococo style around 1840.
