Newport Lamp & Shade Company invites you to “Chinamania,” a trunk show featuring a curated selection of new and vintage porcelain, pottery, and ceramic tableware. The event will be held on Thursday, August 14th, from 10 AM to 5 PM at our shop, located at 11 Memorial Boulevard in Newport, Rhode Island. We are hosting an early access cocktail party on Wednesday, August 13th, from 5 to 7 PM for those eager to get first dibs on the collection.
“Chinamania” refers to the historical fascination with Chinese porcelain and ceramics, which began in Europe and later America in the 17th century. This interest was sparked by the introduction of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, prized for its craftsmanship and distinctive design. Over time, Chinese ceramics became highly sought after, influencing interior decoration and collecting trends. Today, the term captures this enduring appreciation for porcelain’s cultural and artistic significance.
Whether you are a collector or simply appreciate thoughtfully made ceramics, this trunk show offers an opportunity to discover unique pieces that blend tradition with contemporary design. We look forward to welcoming you.
