I’m not the first Englishman to export recycled decorative patterns back to South East Asia... In between 1835 and 1847 Copeland and Garrett exported printed tableware to Vietnam, including the ubiquitous <i>Willow </i>and <i>Wild Rose</i> patterns. these are re-purposed as decorative motifs on the tomb of Kien Thai Vuong outside Hue in central Vietnam.
