Porcelain painting  (china painting) was recognized as an official fine art of Tennessee in 1981. Tennessee Arts & Artists - All State Arts & Drama

At one time, Blue Ridge china was the best-selling dinnerware in the United States. There was a series of artist-signed plates that are very rare and valuable today.
