Until the 1740s, British potteries struggled to replicate the mixture of kaolin clay and china rock (petuntse) required to produce high-fired porcelain like that of China. The New Hall Porcelain Factory first opened in 1781 and was dedicated to manufacturing hard-paste porcelain. The painted and gilt berries and vine-like trees in dark blues and reds that adorn the surfaces of this tea service mimic porcelain made and exported from Arita, Japan beginning in the 17th century. Although the sources of material and ornament are Asian, the shapes of these objects, such as their high, curving handles, were derived from ancient Greek earthenware vessels and reflect the enthusiasm for ancient material culture in Europe during this period.
