England, 1833–1910) was an important porcelain painter who immigrated to New York from Great Britain in 1861. By the early 1880s, Lycett and his son William had settled in Atlanta and opened a studio devoted to porcelain decoration. The Lycett firm trained young women in the craft of porcelain decoration as a leisure activity but also employed women who needed to make a living. The studio secured its porcelain blanks from a Haviland firm near Limoges, France. Lycett china became a staple of upper-middle-class Georgia society and is found today in many Georgia homes.
