China is considered the birthplace of hard porcelain. It was first created during the reign of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. For several centuries, it was China that was the monopoly in the production of porcelain products.
Attempts to discover the secrets of Chinese masters were made by many European states. For almost two centuries, Italians, French, British have been working on this. But as a result, they only managed to obtain materials that only vaguely resembled porcelain.
Only in 1707, as a result of numerous experiments, Chirnhaus and Böttger were able to obtain European porcelain. And at the end of the same year, the first successful firing of a product from this material was carried out.
In the Russian Empire, the secret of creating hard porcelain was discovered by Dmitry Ivanovich Vinogradov in the late 1740s. The manufactory in which he worked on this eventually became the Imperial Porcelain Factory.
Antique porcelain is a timeless classic. And, thanks to the item on display at Violiti, you can join this classic.
