As a byproduct of the trade between the Chinese coast and Bombay (Mumbai) starting from the later 18th century CE, a significant quantity of Chinese porcelain was imported by Bombay traders. As a result, several museums in India as well as a number of Parsi families who were connected with the China trade, have significant collections of Chinese porcelain today.
