Regions
editI don't agree that putting the modern region's name of german and italian manifactures is useful.
In fact modern Germany and modern Italy are unified nations the same way as United Kingdom or France. The reason why in Germany and Italy we put an additional information is that in XVIII century they were divided in many nations and many of them established their own manifacture. So I think we shouldn't put "Thuringia" but "Duchy of Saxony-Gotha", instead of "Hesse" we should put "Free city of Frankfurt". This way we could understand that under the geographical distribution of porcelain manifactures underlie the XVIII century borders. Lele giannoni (talk) 12:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Biases
editI see two biases in the list of XVIIIth century manufactures. Firstly, it omits many French and Italian producers. Secondly, it puts the years of foundation as claimed by enterprises. In fact, in the articles we can discover that Rorstrand began to produce porcelain only about 1770, many decades after the foundation as manufactory of fayences.
