Description
Imported Chinese luxury goods had long been popular in the American colonies. Such goods became more readily available when trade with China opened up after the Revolution. George Washington purchased this lacquered Chinese dressing glass for his wife during his second term as president, probably in 1795 (image courtesy of Mount Vernon Ladies' Association).
