Porcelain News, Reviews & Resources (54) Top 80 High-End Porcelain Brands: A-Z

PORCELAIN (also known as china or fine china) is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain arises mainly from the formation of glass and the mineral mullite within the fired body at these high temperatures.

Porcelain derives its present name from the old Italian porcellana (cowrie shell) because of its resemblance to the translucent surface of the shell. Porcelain can informally be referred to as "china" or "fine china" in some English-speaking countries, as China was the birthplace of porcelain making. Properties associated with porcelain include low permeability and elasticity; considerable strength, hardness, toughness, whiteness, translucency and resonance; and a high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock.

BONE CHINA is a type of soft-paste porcelain that is composed of bone ash, feldspathic material, and kaolin. It has been defined as ware with a translucent body containing a minimum of 30% of phosphate derived from animal bone and calculated calcium phosphate. Developed by English potter Josiah Spode, bone china is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency, and very high mechanical strength and chip resistance. Its high strength allows it to be produced in thinner cross-sections than other types of porcelain.

  • GUIDE TO WORLD’S BEST LUXURY DINNERWARE BRANDS FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD - "Porcelain has been a highly coveted item from as early as the 13th century. First made during the Tang dynasty in China, porcelain was not popularised in the West until the Yuan dynasty. Henceforth, it has been imported to the West from China at extravagant prices. The three main types of porcelain are true, or hard-paste, porcelain; artificial, or soft-paste, porcelain; and bone china. The first European soft-paste porcelain was made in Florence around 1575, however, it was not until the late 17th and 18th centuries that it was produced in large quantities. True porcelain was first reproduced in Europe around 1707 by Johann Friedrich Böttger at the Meissen factory."
  • Hard-paste porcelain - is a ceramic material that was originally made from a compound of the feldspathic rock petuntse and kaolin fired at very high temperature, usually around 1400°C. It was first made in China around the 7th or 8th century, and has remained the most common type of Chinese porcelain.

It is part of a tradition known as "falangcai," or "foreign colors," a name given to porcelain originating from the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen but enameled by artisans in Beijing's Forbidden City."

Laying them out, however, can be a confusing task: what utensils to use, and which order to place them in, depends on everything from the style of the event to how many courses you’re having. (A general rule of thumb? Every utensil put on the table should be used - so you can skip the spoon - and set in order of use, from the outside in)."

  • Japanese porcelain - Wikipedia.
  • Japanese pottery - Edo period (1603–1867) - "According to tradition, the first Japanese porcelain was made in the early 16th century after Shonzui Goradoyu-go brought back the secret of its manufacture from the Chinese kilns at Jingdezhen. Another account claims that Ri Sampei (Yi Sam-p’yong), a Korean potter who was brought to Japan by Hideyoshi, discovered porcelain clay in the Izumi Mountain near Arita (Saga prefecture); this version is feasible since no porcelain made before the end of the 16th century has been identified."

  • Jingdezhen porcelain - Chinese porcelain produced in or near Jingdezhen in southern China. Jingdezhen may have produced pottery as early as the sixth century CE, though it is named after the reign name of Emperor Zhenzong, in whose reign it became a major kiln site, around 1004. By the 14th century it had become the largest centre of production of Chinese porcelain, which it has remained, increasing its dominance in subsequent centuries. From the Ming period onwards, official kilns in Jingdezhen were controlled by the emperor, making imperial porcelain in large quantity for the court and the emperor to give as gifts.

It has always been the centre of Russian porcelain art, the wares created within its walls are a model of true taste and the factory’s artists are trend-setters in this field." The porcelain manufacturing process is rather complex. For example, up to 80 process steps are required to make a cup. The Imperial Porcelain Manufactory preserved the essence of the classic porcelain technology developed by D. I. Vinogradov as early as the 18th century. Porcelain mix is made of fine kaolin (white clay), quartz, feldspar and other alumina silicates and includes up to 40 various additives.
