Armorial porcelains were a large group of ceramics to be exported from
China. The coats of arms were handpainted by Chinese decorators
using designs or written descriptions sent by the customer. In most
cases, the designs were interpreted correctly, but in some there was a loss in translation with words being included in the finished works
instead of the decorative motif.
