The making of Porcelain has been a Chinese craft for over six millennia. The Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama, was the first to bring the beauty and refinement of Chinese porcelain to Europe. Regarded as one of the treasures of the Far East, porcelain is a Chinese export that has fascinated all people who value beauty in craft since its introduction in to the West over five hundred years ago.
Spanish ships from the Philippines brought the first porcelain pieces to the West Coast of America in the 16th century. Chinese porcelain became a prized possession among wealthy Americans in the following centuries. Elegant and sophisticated pieces of Chinese porcelain that included plates, dishes, and other decorative items were imported in to the U.S. in large quantities during the warly 19th century.
Quiedan Company has been importing reproductions of these early porcelain pieces for over twenty years. Offering an affordable alternative to rare and expensive antiques, Quiedan offers a variety of porcelain pieces that include plates, dishes, and decorative furniture accessories. All porcelain reproductions are crafted in the authentic styles of Blue Canton, Blue Willow, Colonial Fruit, Chinoseries, Tobacco Leaf, and Armorial Crests.
