Aynsley was founded in 1775 by porcelain master John Aynsley. As one of the top ten porcelain brands in the world, Aynsley has long been a royal warrant brand of the British royal family. Over the years, it has designed and created famous porcelain pieces for various generations of the British royal family, receiving recognition from royalty and aristocrats, including Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II.
Chinoiserie first gained popularity in Europe in the 18th century. Europeans had a fascination with Asia due to their increased, but still restricted, access to new cultures through expanded trade with East Asia, especially China. The 'China' indicated in the term 'chinoiserie' represented in European people's mind a wider region of the globe that could embrace China itself, but also Japan, Korea, South-East Asia, India or even Persia.
