There are few kinds of clays
which can be made into dishes
known as porcelain" One such
clay is "kaolin" and it has the spe-
cial name of china clay"
1t seems clear that China was
the country which gave porcelain
to the world. For that reason it
was called 'chinaware" or china
by people who imported it three
centuries ago.
Porcelain makes dishes which will
let light pass through them. You
cannot see through them, as
through window, but you can tell
when light is on the other side of
them.
Much work has been done to find
out how long ago the Chinese start
ed to make porcelains. Some esti-
mates have been above 1000 years
The Chinese learned to produce
fine white porcelain, but they were
not content with that. They want
ed to color the material, and to put
pictures and designs on it.
While the Ming emperors were
on the throne, Chinese potters made
blue and white porcelain which was
to become famous. Much porcelain
of that kind later was exported from

Nanking, and was given the nam

Nanking, and was given the name
of "Old Marking" Although 1t
bore the name of that city. 1t actu-
ally was made in other parts of the
country.
In glazing their chinaware, the
Chinese also used such colors as
green, red, brown and yellow. Often
they made beautiful designs on
vases and other porcelain objects.
Many of them carried colored pic
lures of birds, flowers and people.
Chinese porcelain brought high
prices in the markets of Europe.
This led to efforts to initiate it.
Germany seems to have been the
first country in Europe where real
porcelain was made. A little of 1t
was turned out in the city of Dres-
den in 1709, and it came to be
known as Dresden china"
A year later, however, factory
was started at smaller city,
Meissen, which was closer to the
spot where the clay was found.
Nielsen became the center of
Dresden china" for more than 200
years.
knowledge of how to make por-
celain spread to other parts of Eu-
rope. Much of it came to be made
in France. where "Sevres porcelain
grew famous.
