Fragile Diplomacy
While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the 17th century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last, the secret of porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710, the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. This illustrated book explores the early years of Meissen porcelain.
