Aurustus a China Patron.

Augustus the Strong OF Saxony was
a great lover of china, and his belief in
the transmutation OF metals into gold
was accidentally the cause Of the DIS
covery of the celebrated Dresden ware.

possessor OF piece OF this old china

on the back OF 1t. An apothecary's lad
by the name OF Bottinger had, it Is
said. composed n tincthre that was
supposed to be capable of being trans
formed into gold So successful an al
chemist was by order of Augustus
placed under lock and key, but, unlike
most prisoners. with n laboratory at
his disposal This restraint almost de
,prived the lad of his reason, and ac-
cordingly he was removed to Dresden
aud allowed certain liberty. It was
here while pursuing his experime nts
that Bottinger discovered the Nielsen
porcelain, commonly called Dresden
china, whichrto Augustus was rs vel
come as II the youth had been success
full in transmitting gold, for he had ex-
pended large sums in what is known
as the Japan palace. Many workmen
were engaged from Delft to work the
new ware, and in 171O the manufacture
of Nielsen began the supply OF the de-
mand which soon became European.
