Chinese export porcelain refers to Chinese ceramics produced primarily between the 16th and 20th centuries for foreign markets in Europe and later North America, distinct from earlier wares made for domestic or Islamic markets. Early export pieces were often more robust and less finely finished than elite domestic porcelain, designed to withstand long-distance trade and appeal to foreign tastes, with European trading companies such as the Dutch and English East India Companies later commissioning specific designs. Over time, feedback from overseas markets influenced styles and motifs, though export wares generally lacked the symbolic meanings of domestic Chinese ceramics, and in the 18th century competition from European porcelain manufacturers led to imitation designs and changes in quality. By the late 19th century, trade regulations such as U.S. tariff laws required country-of-origin markings on imports, standardizing the identification of Chinese porcelain. In the modern era, China remains a major producer of porcelain, especially for mass-market household goods exported worldwide.

Both show minor signs of damage and repair.
