Porcelain is a vitrified pottery with a white, fine-grained body that is usually translucent. It was first made in China
during the Tang dynasty (618–907) and in its advanced form during the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368). The three main
types are true (or hard-paste) porcelain, artificial (or soft-paste) porcelain, and bone china. Attempts by medieval
European potters to imitate true porcelain led to the discovery of soft-paste porcelain, which can be cut with a file.
The secret of true porcelain was discovered c. 1707 in Saxony. Standard English bone china was produced c. 1800
when Josiah Spode II (1754–1827) added calcined bones to the hard-paste porcelain formula. Hard-paste porcelain,
though strong, chips more readily than bone china. A few vintage pieces of porcelain or a small collection of shoes,
boots, plates or cups that have had a previous life make any room so much richer.
