PORCELAIN DUE &c ACCIDENT
How the Process OF enameiing was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
About 206 8. c.

Near the year 206 3. 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 we're vitrified in shining
spots. In this way the enameling OF
pOrcelain was discovered. Wnen
freed of it's dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear, and acquired
a grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet and a thin, hard, translucent body
that rang like a bell.
The art of monochromatic glazing
was discovered in the time OF the
dynasty Of Sung (960-12So B. Co.
Occasionally the action Of the fire sep
arated the pigments and produced ex-
cessive richness OF color. The Mon
eol invasion checked the progress OF
ceramic art In 1868 Tai-Tsu, the
son of a day laborer. dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1914. Tai-Tsu lost no time in restor-
ing the imperial manufactures He
gave the national mandatory the
monopoly of the work in porcelain, eX-
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans Of
Tehua. Under the new impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected The system of three-color
and five-color decoration. after a pre-
Iiminary firing, dates from the re-
naissance of art under the Ming dy-
nasty Weekly.
