English soft paste porcelain is a hard, compact, chalky-appearing and somewhat vitrified white paste, that is softer and more granular than Asian porcelains. Pieces are covered with a semi-gloss, transparent lead or feldspathic glaze that is not completely fused with the paste, appearing as a thin line in cross section. Decoration is most commonly underglaze hand painting. Motifs include chinoiserie, floral and naturalistic designs. It was produced in England from ~1745-1800. Please email me with questions.
