The abundant flow of Chinese blue-and-white into the Iberian Peninsula resulted from the opening of a direct trade route with East Asia by the Portuguese. They were soon being imitated by Iberian potters, with the most famous production centre established at Talavera de la Reina, near Toledo in about 1560. (M. Rosser-Owen, 2010 p.105).
