Brown is mixed with red and black tones to create dark, medium, and light brown shades as needed. This technique was especially prevalent in Canton porcelain products exported to Europe. The composition techniques used in the decoration of these two porcelain objects were influenced by products from the British Wedgwood porcelain factory, which are known for their circular patterns in the center with large areas left blank. The factory played a significant role in introducing neoclassicism into everyday ceramics, influencing the decorative style of the global porcelain industry.
