Blue and white porcelain originated in China during the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) and became a dominant style during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties. The cobalt blue pigment used for the decoration was often imported from Persia, adding to the value and prestige of these wares. The designs typically feature landscapes, figures, and auspicious symbols.

These vases were produced for both domestic use and export, becoming highly sought after in Europe and other parts of the world. The technique involves painting the design onto the porcelain body before glazing and firing at high temperatures. The resulting pieces are prized for their beauty, durability, and cultural significance.

Bawo & Dotter was a New York company established in 1860s to import porcelain mainly from Limoges. In the 1870s they established in Limoges a porcelain decorating manufactory called The Elite Works.

In 1896 the manufacture began producing their own porcelain. Production lasted until 1914 when World War I began and was resumed after the war ended.

The next significant changes came in 1924, when Bawo and Dotter took over the William Guérin company and merged it with the previously acquired William Guérin factory Pouyat Porcelaines, creating Guérin-Pouyat-Elite Limited. The firm continued production till 1932.

Chinese garden stools have a long history, dating back centuries, and were originally used in imperial gardens and scholar's courtyards. These stools were not only functional but also served as decorative elements, reflecting the owner's taste and status. The pierced designs, often incorporating auspicious symbols like coins, allowed for ventilation and added visual interest.

Over time, these garden stools became popular in Western gardens and homes, appreciated for their exotic appeal and versatility. The blue-green glaze, known as celadon or turquoise glaze, is a common characteristic of these stools, adding to their aesthetic value. The lion head decorations are also a traditional motif, symbolizing protection and strength.
