As early as 1530, fine Chinese porcelain in the form of vases, figurines and bowls were given as gifts to the Aristocracy (and are still on display in various museums around the world). Exotic items such as ostrich eggs, Turkish and Russian pottery, and Chinese porcelain were among Queen Mary's and then Elizabeth's most prized possessions. The delicacy of fine Chinese porcelain was valued and appreciated over the rough, heavy British earthenware.
It was about this time that the word "Chinaware" was incorporated into the English language to describe these porcelain bowls, pots and cups. More info on Tea, Toast and Travel.
