Bio:
Silicon China was an English designation used for ceramic wares developed to combine a durable earthenware body with decorative glazes. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, English ceramic manufacturers were renowned for their extensive production of decorative tableware featuring floral ornamentation, geometric borders and motifs influenced by Asian porcelain. These patterns reflect the English ceramic tradition of combining practical functionality with elaborate decorative craftsmanship.
