This article discusses different circumstances in which exporting of Chinese porcelain to European countries was launched. The primary aim is to review the most important exporting networks with respect to the process of establishment and development of China-Europe relations. This article also touches upon the establishment of early Sino-Russian relations. We argue that first Chinese porcelain products brought to Europe to become a new phenomenon in European art eventually brought a new change to Chinese art. Chinese masters started to develop whole new porcelain shapes in order to meet the needs and tastes of European customers.
