La porcelaine se distingue des autres céramiques par sa blancheur, sa translucidité, son imperméabilité, la dureté_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_and the sonoritéde sa material.
La porcelaine est une pâte composée d'un mélange de kaolin (50 %), de feldspath ( 25%) and de quartz (25%). stage of vitrification, which gives it the translucency (remarkable particularity of porcelain).
Known in China from the beginning of the Christian era, probably during the Tang period (618-907), kaolin was not discovered in Europe until the beginning of the 18th century in Germany. Chinese porcelain became from the Renaissance and the discovery of maritime routes, a point of reference for European ceramists who have never ceased to imitate it.
