| "Mandarin Box" |
"China has the world's largest deposits of kaolin (or porcelain clay). So it's not surprising that the country has a long history of creating beautiful porcelain objects. However, the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) saw this craft reach what many experts believe to be its zenith. Delicate, pure white and exquisitely decorated with blue designs, it was the inspiration for this charming little trinket box. Perfect on a dressing table, delightful in a display cabinet, it would make a lovely gift - if you could bear to part with it!"

| "Mandarin Dish" |
"In 1557 Portuguese merchant adventurers sailed to China and established a trading base in Macao. However it would appear that the trade was mainly one way. While the Chinese liked Portuguese silver and showed some interest in clocks and mechanical toys, there wasn't much else they wanted. The Portuguese, by contrast, were fascinated by the craftsmanship that was synonymous with the Ming Dynasty and helped introduce Ming porcelain to Europe. Today, fine porcelain in the Ming style is still highly prized, and was the inspiration for our tempting little nibbles dish. Just perfect for prawn crackers."

| "Mandarin Lamp Base and Shade" |
"In the early 14th century, China was under Mongol rule. But rebellion was in the air and this led to the formation of various secret societies. Among them were the Red Turbans, and one of their leaders was a certain Chu Yuan-chang. He was a monk, but a monk with a serious power complex. So much so, that in 1356 he seized the city of Nanking. Twelve years later he drove the Mongols from Peking, became the emperor and the Ming era began. Lasting for more than 250 years, the Ming Dynasty saw a flowering of the arts and crafts - including greatly prized Ming porcelain. This finest of fine china was the inspiration for our elegant globe-shaped lamp... particularly appropriate, as the word 'Ming' means brightness."
