Who introduced bone china to England?
1 Answer
Thomas Frye introduced bone china to England when he began producing pieces at his factory in Bow, East London in 1748. However, the pieces made by Josiah Spode in Stoke-on-Trent starting in 1789 more closely resemble the decorative china that England is best known for. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of bone china.
