The pattern of this wonderful dinner set was created from original copper engravings depicting historical scenes of Chinese Export to America. The pattern is titled "The Friendship of Salem".

The scenes on the plate feature a federal eagle crest, the Canton Port in 1830, New York Harbor in 1830 and the US Delaware ship capturing Le Croyable. The Latin words "E.
