- Fitzhugh Pattern - The Fitzhugh pattern on Chinese porcelain refers to a type of decorative design that was inspired by the work of Robert Scott Fitzhugh, an American artist and inventor. However, the Fitzhugh pattern as applied to Chinese export porcelain between c1780 and 1840 often features a distinctively Chinese style, incorporating traditional Chinese elements such as landscapes, figures, and symbols, into the overall design in colours of underglaze blue, bright green, brown and orange. This blend of Western and Chinese decorative elements was a popular style during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when there was a growing interest in all things Chinese, including porcelain.
