Wallpaper | Historic New England American manufacturers were proud of their domestically produced goods. The billhead of Appleton Prentiss boasts an image of the American eagle and the words “AMERICAN MANUFACTURE” above rolls of different patterns he made. Many of these patterns can be identified in Historic New England’s collection. Wallpapers by several other New England paper strainers are also included in Historic New England’s collection. Clough is best known for the commemorative paper of George Washington he advertised less than one year after Washington’s death in 1799. Moses Grant, who participated in the Boston Tea Party, became a successful upholsterer and wallpaper manufacturer. Zechariah Mills, (1770-1851) a Hartford, Connecticut, wallpaper manufacturer and dealer, sold his own papers and those he imported from Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and Boston. A French arabesque paper from The Mount in Bristol, Rhode Island, features characteristics typical of Reveillon’s style.

PM&M page [Germany / Saar Basin / Mettlach (01)] Mettlach During 1748 the respected iron founder François Boch began manufacturing ceramic tableware in the village of Audun-le-Tiche in the Duchy of Lorraine. His plates, cups, pots and tureens had simple shapes but were of excellent quality and because of this his goods became well known in a relatively short period of time. Already in 1770 the Septfontaines factory started to produce goods with the famous 'Brindille' pattern which is still in the 'Villeroy & Boch' product range today under the name of 'Alt-Luxemburg'. [1] : Jean-François Boch et Frères (1809 until 1836) In 1809 Boch bought the former Benedictine abbey in Mettlach on the River Saar where he set up a very modern and extensively mechanised system for tableware production. That system even exceeded the benefits introduced 70 years later in the often praised social security system founded by the German leader Bismarck. [2] : Villeroy & Boch (1836 until ...)

Kitchens .com - Kitchen Design, Photos, Products, Videos, Remodeling, Decorating and Ideas Famille Rose Porcelain - China culture AD 1636 - 1912 Famille-rose porcelain 粉彩瓷 , so called its pink enamel, first came into being during the Yongzheng reign (1723-1735) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and continued to be made throughout the Qianlong reign (1736-1795) and beyond. Main materials and techniques used to make the porcelain were all introduced from abroad in the beginning. When making famille -rose porcelain, craftsmen fired glass whiteness onto plain porcelain, creating patterns with Chinese painting techniques and then baking it in a kiln. During the Kangxi reign, there were only a few works of famille -rose porcelain, whose color paintings were also very simple -- mainly patterns of flowers, clouds and dragons . The famille-rose porcelain produced in the Qianlong reign saw an obvious change -- other colors such as green, yellow, blue, carmine or purple, were added to the white porcelain.
