Blue and white china. A classic timeless decorating trend that is back, but never really went away. Blue and white china is porcelain or ceramics that have been decorated with a cobalt blue pigment, then glazed. There are several types of blue and white china ranging from original Chinese pieces from as early as the 9th century, modern replicas of Chinese pieces, Delftware from the Netherlands, and Chinoiserie from England.
