Several subjects depicted on these plates were taken from botanical illustrations published by Philip Miller, curator of Chelsea Physik Garden. Although flowers and fruits could typically be found on earlier porcelain wares from Meissen, the lively naturalism of the Chelsea botanical plates reflects a broadening public interest in the natural world, and evidence the forms of global commerce that brought exotic species from the Caribbean, the Americas, and Asia to England..
