Note 394 — Chapter XIV

S. Wells Williams, Commercial Guide to China, 1863, p. 13. Speaking of pottery the author says: "The charges for freight forbid it to be carried far, and manufactures of it are numerous; that for Canton is at Shih–hwan." No doubt this is Shih–wan . Another name for Canton pottery is Shakwan ware, which is probably a variant of Shih–wan.
