The most fashionable tables in early America were set with blue and white Cantonware, named for the great Chinese trading port from which it came.  Blue and white Cantonware served as the “everyday” china for George Washington and his family. Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand well into the 19^th  century and has become part of the heritage of many American families.

This charming Blue Canton Plate Magnet is 2 ¾” in diameter.  Magnet is presented on a heavy card which includes historical information.
