Chinese manufacturers soon realized that Europeans did not understand porcelain and produced export porcelain, vulgar, even flawed, but which in the eyes of Westerners turned out to be authentic works of art. Once the trade was regularly organized, the India Companies supplied Chinese artists with European models, both for forms and decoration. Throughout the 18th century, the blue and white series persisted, but of inferior quality, which was then called Nanjing porcelain, and especially the famille rose type.
