PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process Of EnameIInO Was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
About 2o6 8. G.

Near the year zoe B. c., in the be-
ginning of the dynasty Of Han, some
workers in earthenware set their pots
In the oven to bake, and forgot them.
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots were vitrifled in shining
spots. In this way the enameling Of
porcelain was discovered. When
freed of its dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear. and acquired
grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet and thin, hard, translucent body
that rang like O. bell.
The art Of monochromatio glazing
was discovered In the time of the
dynasty Of Sung (960-1280 B. c..
Occasionally the action Of the fire sep
arated the pigments and produced en-
cessive richness Of color. The Mon

gave the national mandatory tie

oepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by tho artisans Of

perfected. The system Of three-ooloP
and hvs-Oolor decoration, after q Pre-
Hminary firing, dates from the 70
