Are Blue Onion and Blue Danube the same?

1 Answer
Are Blue Onion and Blue Danube the same?
No, Blue Onion and Blue Danube are not exactly the same, although they look very similar. The German porcelain company manufactured Blue Onion porcelain and released the first pieces in the 18th century. Modern-day Japanese manufacturers make china in its style, and their porcelain ware is what's known as Blue Danube. Shop a wide range of blue porcelain on 1stDibs.
