For 300 years, China was the world's Pottery Barn. The Long Beach Museum of Art has a new exhibit of porcelain made in China from 1550-1850 for Europe, Asia, and North America. The quality was excellent, but it took two years to fill an order.
This piece of Chinese porcelain was made for a wealthy Colonial who revered George Washington and was willing to wait two years to get it.
