What's the history of the China Marker's name?

Asked by Evan (810points) August 25th, 2008

Why is a china marker called a “china marker” (or a chinagraph pencil, in the UK and Europe)? I have read that perhaps it was because they were originally designed to write on china, which of course is from china, but have not been able to find anything substantiating that information. Any info?
