Abstract
The maritime trade in Asian luxury and manufactured goods that reconfigured the material cultures of the Islamic, European and Atlantic worlds during the early modern period. The history of the trade and shipping of these goods was a global phenomenon, not one confined to the Indian Ocean. Historians are now seeking the connections across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Indian Ocean and the South China Seas. Europeans first joined Asian commercial routes as minor players, then developed powerful trading companies and a naval infrastructure to dominate trade. The printed cotton textiles and porcelain they brought to Europe stimulated new manufacture and industrialization in Europe, but not Asia, and tea drinking became embedded in European and Atlantic world cultures of sociability.
