Antique China and Porcelain
.......Canton can be easily be
distinguished from it derivative, transfer-decorated
English Blue Willowware. Canton's hand-painted
decoration has no people on the bridge, no fencing, and
usually, no birds. It is a thick-walled pottery compared
to Willowware. Nanking, a similar but superior grade of
Chinese export porcelain, has small spears and posts in
place of the rain and cloud border pattern and will
often have a figure holding an umbrella on the bridge
that is not found on early Cantonware.
