Sung, Mei-ying. William Hogarth's Marriage à-la-Mode shows the luxuries of an aristocrat's house including a range of Chinese porcelain prominently displayed above the fireplace. This represents the fashion of the 18th-century British wealthy household, where Chinese ceramic figures, porcelain jars and vases were highly valued and extremely desirable objects for rich collectors.
