This book follows Chinese porcelain through the commodity chain,
from its production in China to trade with Spanish Merchants in
Manila, and to its eventual adoption by colonial society in Mexico.
As trade connections increased in the early modern period,
porcelain became an immensely popular and global product. This
study focuses on one of the most exported objects, the guan. It
shows how this porcelain jar was produced, made accessible across
vast distances and how designs were borrowed and transformed into
new creations within different artistic cultures. While people had
increased access to global markets and products, this book argues
that this new connectivity could engender more local outlooks and
even heightened isolation in some places. It looks beyond the guan
to the broader context of transpacific trade during this period,
highlighting the importance and impact of Asian commodities in
Spanish America.
