If you're going to collect a specific pattern, Blue Canton is certainly a popular one, and it has been since the beginning of America's history! I'm about to drop some knowledge, so listen up!

 

The most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with blue and white "Canton" or "Nankin" wares, named for the great Chinese trading ports from which they came. Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand in this country well into the nine-teenth century and has become apart of the heritage of many American families. Blue Canton faithfully recaptures the centuries-old tradition and taste.

 

So if you have a Canton lover in your family, we have over 80 Blue Canton pieces to choose from. We have pieces to splurge on or simple round-out gifts. All of them can be used in the most unique or traditional ways.

<divstyle="text-align: center!important;">Seen above: Blue Canton Tea Jar (HC139) - $1,150

This tea jar can be used as decoration, for loose leaf tea, or as a cookie jar! Remove the lid and make it a vase, or fill it with coins as you save up for the smaller tea jar.

If you have a nice table, you definitely need table coasters or hot-pads so that those magnificent dishes you serve don't ruin your fine woodware. They can be left out between meals. Why not dress the table up with an Octagonal or Round tile.
